I was just wondering who out here in Illinois have R/T's. I am from Quincy and didn't know who else was out there hunting down new prey.

I am from Illinois and have a Dakota Sport and a Durango R/T. The Durango runs really well and I would like to do some mods to it. Have you done any to your Dakota R/T?

Yeah...so far i have done a little. I have changed the rear end fluid to synthetic. Run fully synthitic oil with a K&N oil filter. I have changed the spark plugs to autolights. Changed wires to accell extrem blue 3000, and accell cap and rotor. Put in a 180 themostat. K&N cold air induction. Hypertech power programmer 3. Middle of next week i am getting Gibson Headers and cat back exhaust. Mid-March i am getting my m1 2bbl intake. And by July i am getting my throttle body and roller rockers. After that...i don't know. So where in Ill. are you Tom?

I was wondering too if there is enough of us...maybe we could even start up a club. I know there is one in Chicago...but wanted to maybe join one closer. I am in the mid-west part of the state. Reply if interested.

Matt, how much performance gain did you get? I was thinking about doing the K&N system, along with Autolites and wires also.
I live near Joliet. Hey, an R/T club sounds great to me.

I gained noticable gains. So far i think that the best investment I made was the power programmer from Hypertech. I noticed and can hear the difference with the K&N induction. I think it is a necessary improment with the autolites. And hell...at only like .99 for 1 plug...you can't really go wrong.

I got the lastest issue of Mopar Muscle and they did a dyno test with the Hypertech PPIII on a 99 5.2L Ram. They got 4.9HP & 10.8 ft.lbs. Thats about $60 / 1 HP. Not worth it IMO.
Then a few pages before that article , Hypertech has an ad for the same programmer. They claim 21 HP / 35 ft.lbs. typical gains on the 5.9. I doubt it.
Just thought y`all like to know.

Matt,
Quincy,huh. I'm in Jacksonville. If you decide to upgrade your suspension (Hotchkis, etc.). Let me know, I'm looking for some R/T springs close to home.
Its a long way off but Jax cruise night is in Sept. Come on over for it, usually very cool. Later,
Phil

Hey Phil,
I usually do go the the Jacksonville cruise night. It is awsome. Alot of us from Quincy go up. It is awsome...especally when it gets later and people start to burn there tires off. We will have to meet up and burn some tires of together.
