Mine again is far from stock...

Forgot I'm sure my setup does help quite a bit. I have K&N CAI, 52mm Fastman, Mopar Performance Intake & Wires, DUI distributor coupled with MSD ignition, Champion Iridium gapped to .046, Mopar Performance heads, and SuperChips tuner that I keep tuned to "Economy Mode".

My setup probably has a lot to do with it, as well as driving at sea level with nothing but flat roads.

Yeah, i hear what you're saying sharp. stock vs modded up like crazy. even widow has a good count of mods there. plus his is a 2wd those are a bit quicker and a little less thirsty than the 4wd durangos, right?

widow the stock 5.9 durango does 0-60 in 8 secs or so i think? maybe thats a bit fast? lol

LOL Sounded like the little woman wasn't too thrilled with your demonstration.

and THIS is the biggest part of your mpg numbers over most.

Yeah. It's got a rev limiter that keeps it under 3,800 RPM. I'd suggest to anyone wanting to save MPGs, to get this.

Nice time man. 7.34 secs is real nice for a 5,000 pound truck. I love that. "Slow down!" its almost like thats what you were waiting for before you actually slowed down lol! "alright let me see how long it takes for the misses to tell me to slow down." lol

Looks like you're faster than stock by a good amount. How much is that superchips tuner helping you out? i might invest on one for my next part for my durango.

Oh it's by far one of the best investments I've made. Well worth the $300 IMO. It opens up horsepower when I want it, gives me lots of low end torque when I'm towing, and best of all improves fuel economy by a bunch when I'm just strolling around.

Also the MSD ignition system helped out a lot with power you can feel. It gives a much greater "fuller" spark so it burns the fuel more efficiently and doesn't lack when it's WOT. With your 4.7 however, I'm not sure if they have an MSD system for it.

All in all, if I had to do anything different with my build, I wouldn't simply put.

Yeah, I'm guessing they most likely do make a msd ignition for it. Probalby similar to what yours would be like i'm guessing.

I might actually get a superchips tuner this summer hopefully.
