I have a 97 318 5spd, Current mods are 2.02 heads, 1.6 roller rockers, headers, 3 inch exhaust, ported TB, M1, R/T cam soon to be KRC 210X, MP computer. Current best time is a 14.8 at 95 which I think is a bit slow for this combo. I cant wait to try the new cam out once I get it.

you bought a truck; if you use it like I do those 38.5" boggers slow you down a little; I'm actually contemplating dropping in one of the new hemi engines; be a little costly but can you imagine?

If you're gonna make up numbers, at least make them halfway believable. What a dumbass.

I meant all 5.2 had 230hp and 300tq, i should have said 97+, and Joe, just b/c your dakota is slow as balls doesnt give you the right to judge mine time, you would be amazed how well some slicks and a 45 degree dry evening at the track lowers my et's over a hot summer day with road tires. (oh yea, this board has too many haters)

You're right Pete. I WOULD be amazed if slicks and 45° evening temp lowered your times by TWO SECONDS.

I'll tell you what I think, Pete. I think that YOU are the one that has the "4 banger", are about 17 years old, and have NEVER made a trip to the dragstrip in your life. If you have, you would know that you are so FULL OF ЅHIT when you claim 12 seconds. Like I said, next time you decide to lie about times, make it halfway believable.

Dude, you are full of crap. I hate to say it, but Joe (the site dickhead) is right. There is no way in hell you can run a 12.76 with those mods.

yeah, i must have got a good truck or something from the factory. my bolt on mods give me about 290hp (at the crank, which is only about 245 at the wheels) and the slight weight reduction has my dodge beating stock Z06's (12.8 sec @ 114 mph/405HP), stock 911 turbo's (12.9 sec @ 115 mph/415HP), and sometimes stock viper GTS ACR's (12.6 sec @ 117 mph/460HP)!

Why are you mad? You got caught in a STUPID lie, get over it. What's funny is that you were trying to defend it. And now you're mad, LOL!

You do have a V6, don't you.

I have a '98 reg cab short bed 5 spd. Self-ported tb, advanced timing, hypertech power programmer, 3" flowmaster exhaust with no cat, IAT adjust, homebrew intake, TPS at .72 volts, vaccuum mod. No spare or tail gate with street tires.No headers/cam/rockers /headwork. Ran a 14.85 1/4 with a 2.1 sec 60 foot time in the alabama heat the other day. A 12 second dakota on straight motor is possible with the right heads cam gears, etc... I pulled out in front of an s 10 the other day - I won, he had to get towed. I think I will get my handles and gas lid shaved while it's getting sprayed and put a fuel cell in the bed. I will probably keep the stock tank for now so I can keep the stock pump. Anyone know if the stock pump can be used in an aftermarket cell ?

Last year a guy ran a 14.9 with a bone stock 5.2 5 speed RC 3.92 LSD and slicks. Mine ran a 15.7 with a 3.55 open. That was with K&N and MP PCM and terrible 60' times. Never made it back after more mods. Today I saw a Hemi Ram (QC 4WD) run a 16.25 compared to a Mercedes ~16.7. Was kinda impressed.

www.dragtruck.com You want drag times, here you go. I will admit, some of the entries are Bulls**t, but a majority of them are accurate. Compare the 1/4 and 1/8 mile times. Peter Boyle- a 12.7 1/4mile with low 8's 1/8mile is very accurate so either he is telling the truth or knows the correct times. High 12's on all motor is easy with the right kind of $$. Obviously the "stock 225hp dak beating a scumaro SS w/ a 13.4" is a fake and bullsh**t post, but a reg. cab dak V8 with the right mods can easily be 13's on all motor and yes, all that sh*t removed will definately lose weight. It all adds up. Please, people, do some research before posting and it doesnt do any good to copy a name and write a childish remark. Brad P. '88 Dakota soon to be smallblock sleeper!
