god thats alot money I thought I spent alot on my dak about $1800 maybe more for my rebuild. keep us posted on those roller rockers crazythats a mod I wanna do when I got a spare $200. Hey and how well does that 3in exhaust help sound/power cause I was always taught an exhaust thats to big will cause thefumes to roll and actullycreate backpresure instead free it up is that not a case for the daks?

 

so whats the best way to get in the low 14s to high 13s without doing like an engine swap or supercharger...i should be able to hit mid 15s now...every i have done is in my sig.

 

[sm=nxsmile.gif]. that is the quickest and cheapest way. do all of the stuff crazy has done and it should be in the 14's. you could get a cam from krc performance. i am wanting to get the 210 in mine. i just need some 3.90 or 4.10 gears and a few other mods before the cam swap, o yea and a large sum of money too, lol.

 

yeah man who doesn't need money lol...how do you know what gears you have?...for instance at 65 i'm at a little over 2 grand...how many miles were on your 318 when you swapped it?...right now i have a little over 185,xxx on mine

 

i got a build sheet from dodge, but there is also a tag on the diff. cover that should tell you. mine is a 3.55 open.the 318 is brand new and just getting broke in good, it only had a little over 1000 miles on it at the track, so it may run better now but i drove a dakota at the shop that was the same as mine with a stock computerand 183,000 and it was slower.

 

I guess it sounds like alot when all added up but its been a good 5 years now. So maybe save $50 or more a check and before you know it you have enogh for a good mod.

Well 3in is not to big. It is what is recomended for larger v8s and high horsepower. Mine is single exhast so its okay. But if it was dual and both 3in then that would be to much. The sound is great!

Another Idea you guys could try is the stroker kits. I belive there is a kit for the 5.2s. And get some low gears(numarly Higher) That will give you the best take off.

The Best way to know is a sticker under the hood I should have your gear ratio. Or just jack up both tires. Turn 1 full revoltion of one wheel then count how many times the drive shaft turns. Ours came with 3.23(rare) 3.55 (The normal one) 3.9(even rarer)

That would be nice if you can do mid 15s. Just keep in mind that it may take some twinking to it before, like messing with shift poits and take offs with out spining to much.

I feel like I took over this thread! LOL I realy want to know what times others have gotten!

 

yea, now that the engin has got broken in good i changed the oil again today and took it out for a drive and manually shifted it at about 5800 rpm's! i got too 100 alot quicker, it did 80 in 2nd. that is another advantage of the mopar performance comp., no more 5200 rev limiter.

 

well for truck being a 92 with alot miles i am proud of what it can do...after all i only gave 400 for it but i have put at least another 1100 in it in about a year...man i wish y'all were local so i could try to race lol...i just need to get my tranny built for now any advice on shift kits?

 

good next time im in the muffler shop im gonna get a 3in pipein and the new flowmaster super 44 them mufflers are bad compared to the 40s but one on my other truck a ranger with 3.0 the thing sounds sick not like a little ricer.

I wish I had my times but uhhhh the track wasn't exactly a legal one.... or it wasn't really a track... but I toasted a 91 4runner, a 88 toyota pickup v8 swap, and a 2000 ford f-150, got beat by a lot damn supercharged honda's this guy's CRX just was gone before I got into 2nd gear

 

i just think its funny when i pulled to the little burnout box and smoked out the place...i got laughed by alot of people because i was running low 16s that night lol...its ok fox i got beaten by a civic si...whats the best race you have ever had in one of these trucks guys?
