 Subject: first time running the 1/4

Message:
July 22nd I attended fast friday at Atlanta Dragway I made 4 passes the track was very hot and very slick the outside temp when we pulled into the parking lot was 104. my buddy has a 93 mustang 5.0 he was running 15.4's friday but when he could get traction back in May he was running 14.50's. I was running 14.80's which I didn't think was too bad with a 60' time of 2.4 I would spin thru 1st and part or 2nd before it would hook up. There was another 2001 R/T just like mine down there but had alittle more stuff done to it and was running 15.50's. I just have gibson headers, true dual spintechs with out cats, MSD 6A ignition with MSD blaster SS coil, autolite 3923's and relocated IAT sensor rolling on 255/55/17 Nitto 555. I am getting me some nitto 555R's just to take to the strip hopefully I will hook up.

If it were me (and it's not), I would invest in a pair of DoT track only tires and wheels. It's a little bit more in initial investment. But they will last a whole lot longer and you don't have to worry about street use.

What size engine does the `01 R/T come with and how do you think it might compare to the `05 new redesign 4.7L?
Do you remember how much HP your truck had stock from the dealer?
The `05 non-HO 4.7L has 230HP. I've added a Cat-Back System, K&N Equipment and I'm having JBA Headers installed on Wednesday.
The HO 2005 4.7L is pulling 250HP so with my current mods I hope I'm somewhere above the 230HP base line.
I was just wondering so if I pull up next to a Dakota R/T I'll know what I'm up against.
Thank you.
Jimbo

well Dakotajimbo, when you and your sister are cruising down the road after performing sexual acts on each other you may see that all R/T Dakotas come with a 5.9L 360ci engine with 250hp stock and around 340 ft/lbs I will assure you that if you pull up beside an R/T with the same mods you will get smoked, well atleast I was smoking a 4.7 HO 5 speed with slicks at the dragstrip.
I just got me a set of 15" rims for the back .bOB so now I am just waiting for the 9" wide slicks to come in

I heard stock for stock 5 speed 4.7's where a good match for a R/T at the track. In some cases won more of the races. I'm talking stock.

I have a 4.7L 5 speed Club Cab loaded with a Throttle Body and Exhaust and I turn 14.5 @ 94 mph. I've pulled up next to many R/Ts and watched them fade in the mirror. Had one that I coulda talked to while we ran it was so close, but he was well modded.
Later,
