well, Car-Stats.com lists it as 15.6, but I am sure I can run better than that, I have several mods to the engine, but I wish I had a 3.91 rear. I am stuck with a 3.55, but at least it still goes 117Mph, and not 90 something.

Then again, Car-Stats is not that Accurate, and it depends on the driver

so I guess 17 for quarter time with a Club Cab, 4.7L, 3.55 5-speed is a little bit of Mis information; I haven't tried the quarter yet, but I know with my mods I am Liable to run mid 15s, to low 15s.

15.2 isn't bad, they say a stock R/T gets 15 flat, the cams I got and Intake + TB combo probably give the most power out of my 5 mods, Headers probably don't give much. I might go down to my local strip and see what I get in the Quarter, but from what I hear, they only do the 1/8th now.

I bought my truck off of my brother when he got a 2003 HO 5.9L Cummins 6-speed, and he is the one that put all of the mods in my motor, when he got the dakota, he could of waited a little longer and got the Reg cab with 3.92s 4.7L 5-speed, I wish he would have waited.

Dakotasport-

I also have 2001 Reg Cab 4.7 5-speed. Where did you get a short shifter? Hurst only applies to 5.2 engine.

Dgdakota-I have 3:55 rear in my truck and I cannot keep traction in first gear even with LSD. I start in 2nd gear even when racing. I can't immagine what 1st gear would be like with 3:92...totally useless. Now, in a 4x4 with larger tires and more weith, I see the point.

before I got 32 inch tires, I could Bark the Tires really good hitting 3rd Gear at 60 + mph, and leave a really nice Black track, but now it is harder too.

- IT is hard keeping traction in First, but I use it racing anyway, I just work the clutch good, and once I hit 2nd - well you all know, the crap hits the fan for that Honda, or Toyota or whatever.

I am thinking about getting 3.92s, but I will have to change them for the front and the Rear, if I had a 2wd it would be easier,

- I might end up getting Powertrax rear locker, maybe sometime in the future,

- maybe I'll get hte HO intake manifold to go with my HO cams, just to complete the package.

the h.o. intake will not provide your 4X4 with usable gains, the only thing it provides is high rpm hp at the expense of significant low end torque, get a new, larger, mandrel bent y-pipe instead.

yea, that sounds about right, I'd Rather have Low End Torque. If I had a 2wd, it would be better to get the HO intake Manifold. My Brother Told me, that with my truck ( his old one ) that I should not get the HO manifold, he said the Cams are all I need, which is what I got.
