Did the R/T come with a 5.9 and manual trans?? If so, the dealer should be able to flash the PCM for you. Otherwise, I suspect you are going to need someone to do a custom tune for you.

Dakota R/T doesn't come with a manual transmission from the factory... I think HeyYou is most likely correct though, you may need a custom ECU.

Is it bad to send him to a diff forum for this ?

I had a dakota sport, 5spd 4.7 , came across some dakota rt guys that run them in the 10's... they probably have an answer...
