Sounds about what I experienced with my 12 5.0. I had just come out of a torque monster in the 392 Challenger and the 5.0 felt weak. My car had the 3:73s and after installing the FRPP tune and 500 mufflers the low end punch improved. The car was fun to drive and the sound of the car under power was beautiful. Unfortunately like others have stated the MT-82 transmission is garbage. My only semi-clean pass with the car while walking it out of the hole and short shifting at 6100 rpm (anything over that locked me out of 3rd) the car ran 13:09 @ 109. I'm sure if it hadn't been for the transmission the car would have run 12:70s, so the lack of low-end torque is made up in high end power.
