well i can keep up with stock cc r/t's in my heavy gen3. i would imagine your truck could blow any stock r/t off the road, even very lightly modded ones. i would hope so with all those mods. no, in fact no imagining about it, if i can keep up with a stock cc r/t, i know for a fact you would destroy any stock one on the road.

Well, I have jba headers, R/T throttle body, intake tube with K&N, a borla exhaust and FMS injectors. Great improvements, but no way do I get close to an R/T. Waiting to go on are: 3.92 gears, posi, R/T Mopar Performance pcm, and a 360... which should have a nice performance cam, lifters and roller rockers.

97 3.9 CC Sport. JBA stainless headers, Borla Turbo XL stainless muffler & tip, 17 x10 Boyd Coddington Smoothies, FMS injectors, V8 TB, Quick D stainless air intake, Have but not Installed yet: 5.9 litre 360

all i have to say is i wish i had my camera with me, stock cc r/t's are dogs, woof woof.

and just today read a post on here a guy said he drove a s/ced r/t and it felt like a 15 second truck, he says the 4.7 he drove was just as fast.

i can hit 0-60 in just about 8 seconds flat, considering r/t's run high 7's in 0-60 i can most definitley keep up with one. now rc is a whole nother story.

Lesley, dodgeboy, thanks for the input I have been on this board for about a year now since I bought my 97 dak and it seems everytime I post something someone has to dog the v6 down well I just want to be a little different here and get this ol 3.9l humming in the 15 second mabye high 14 second area and then it will be sporty enough for ol Metalgreen.

my truck could outrun stock rt's with the following mods:

mopar cold air intake
jet stage II module
1.7 roller rockers
msd 6a ignition
msd wires and coil
flowmaster muffler
jba headers
relocated iat
aftermarket throttle body
weight reduction
custom rear suspension

now i let a RT buddy of mine drive my truck like this and he said it felt faster than his slightly modded club cab rt. Weight does make a big difference.

Ya I have looked at buying a R/T twice in the last 6 months and each time I drove one and then I got back in my truck and the ol v6 just seemed peppier to me. Who knows. I really like my truck and the way it feels and the color is pretty rare around my area to I have the only one its a Moss green with Metallic flake and it looks great when its clean and I want to have the first r/t 6 in the area to clean up with.

I gotta almost pure stock 6 that'll wipe out any r/t8 out there. Yeah right,you give up 75 hp and more importantly over 125 lb.ft. of torque, and it comes with the 3.92 gears stock unless you have a blower and a bottle you ain't gonna get near it. Hey Dude, yeah you! Word! get me somma that, need to get all buzzed up again!
