Default Does anybody Drag race there Dakota?

Hi. I haven't been on the sight in awhile, so i dont remember If I made a post or not. So I was wondering if anybody else on here drag races there first gen Dakota. I have a 91 Dakota sport that I installed the cab and bed from a 1996 Dakota sport. I call my truck the Pro-junkYard Edtion. Lol it has a warned over 2000 360 magnum engine and 904 transmission. Best pass in the 1/4 and 1/8 mile Is 11:24 at 116 and 7.15 at 96. I am saving up to build my spare 2000 360 magnum into a 14.1 compression 408 stroker . Hoping to run 10.00 flat or high nines with that one. Would like to hear about anybody else builds

Are you talking about the type of racing or what you wear when you're racing?


I don't race anymore. I'm too old and brittle. I do still like to drive in a "spirited" manner. I've got a '97 that I plan to surprise people with.

I dont have a dakota to drag race with, but sure am interested in yours!! Could you share more details about the motor? FWIW , IMO, 11.24 and 7.15 are quick for a dakota with a 5.9.... What cam, etc are you using?
