Not to mention all the hemis and the older 5.9 R/T Daks....
And I know some of you guys have more done to your trucks than I do so whats the deal?
That's hard to believe I don't want to start something but I have the same truck as you and I'm pretty sure I can't beat out any of the 5.9 r/ts let alone mustangs.... Unless your on the bottle, only way .....

The combination of Auto-tranny, 4x4, and quad cab weight do nothing to help with drag racing success. Probably why you don't hear too much about it.
I said LT1 not LS1... theres about 100 horsepower difference between those motors, I don't think I could touch a LS1. haha guys don't lose faith in our little 4.7 motors! the old 5.9 trucks made 250 horsepower. with a few bolt on mods we can move on them pretty good. and na I don't have any spray. I did at one time have a 50 shot but I took it off for fear of tearing something up

I'm not particularly on here to brag about my own accomplishments, I just more or less wanted to hear what you guys have done. Granted our trucks weren't made to be full on race machines but these 4.7s have some kick to them... I think they have real potential, like for example that AirRam guy, he has one in a full size 4 door ram that runs low 9s in the 8th mile. And you know our Daks are lighter by far.
I didn't intend to start any arguments haha

This here is straight off the AirRam website, just to back up what I said haha

We have run our best times to date thanks to the latest SCT programmer! This custom programmer has brought us from our previous best 9.99 down to a 9.49 in the 1/8th!... take a look at our times... make note of the 14.99@89.29MPH!!

60' ....... 2.24 (BEST 60ft was with H/O cams 1.99 60')
330 ...... 6.09
1/8 ...... 9.49@71.83
1000 ..... 12.42
1/4 ....... 14.99@89.29

This is Single Cab HEMI territory! Not bad for a little 287ci in a 5200lb truck! Look for the SCT programmer right here on our site!
