I'm trying to locate graphs showing the engine output at increasing RPMS for torque and developed HP for various FORD engines, notably the 4.0's, the 4.6 and the 5.0 used in Explorers, anyone know an easy place to find them online? Or have them to post? (Needded for a new thread on Torque convertor stall speed I am developing).

Do you want stocl only dyno charts? I have plenty with various tunes.
 






Al... yeah to start I am looking for stock.... FORD graphs would be perfect.... I'm in the process of scouring the net as we speak.... also I read your post and link to the Bristol Dyno folks....this stufff all starts to get a tad complicated when you are first exposed to it... torque vs. HP... and on top of that throw a TC with it's issues, and woo whee. I'm trying to distill it all down for folks wanting to knw which TC to buy.
 






Sorry, I have no stock dyno charts. But if you want/need others, let me know.
 






Well, as it turns out, the ebst source I could find, for real world (not mfgr - which I could find no where) dyno charts online today after some time looking was HyperTech.

www.hypertech.com

Even then what they had was only a limited number, but I did get real world charts for the stock 4.0, 4.6 and 5.0. (plus they of course showed their performance gains in comparison, which were impressive on the 4.6 and 5.0 and ho hum on the 4.0.)

I found it interesting that the torque curves were relatively flat to "fall off" on the 4.0 and 5.0 starting about about 1500 RPM. The 4.6 was a little more quirky.

The 4.0 seemed to hit peak HP around 4250, the 5.0 around 4000 and the 4.6 around 4750 RPM.

Peak torque for the 4.0 tested was 182 ft lbs at 3000 RPM, for the 5.0 tested was 214 flt lbs at 3250 RPM and for the 4.6 was 223 ft lbs at 3000 RPM. Remember though that if the curve is more or less a flat line, that number is less important than if the curve built up to a peak and then declined afterwards. The 4.6 was a little more "curvy" if you will, still "relatively" flat.

I'm trying to digest all this and work into yet an even more confusing subject to apply it... torque convertors.

There IS one steep curve involved here - the learning curve.
 






I found these at BamaChips. They are comparison graphs, but they have aldives stock explorer settings on there and a few others.

Here is a 4.0L Ranger '01

Hope that might help

A little clarification is necessary.

While the above posted graphs are with a stock ( Ford ) computer tune, the truck is not stock. It has full synthetic fluids an intake ans a cat back exhaust.
