Default Anybody run their Dakota on the Strip?

I will eventually mine, just to see what it will do... My old 4.3 S-10 would turn 10.12 in a 1/8 bone stock with a short ram intake and 3.42 rear.....

What could I expect to see a 4 door 4x4 Dakota with the standard 4.7 run? I know there are many variables to drag racing.... I think mine is geared 3.55, with a flowmaster single to dual.

Any ideas? What are you guys getting out of yours?

I don't see myself every running mine at the track. I guess I'll settle with the data from the SC tuner. I could however see myself dynoing mine in the future to see the improvements over a stock truck.

A stock 4x4 quad cab dakota weighs in around 4,500lbs making around 240 hp crank.

In a HP generator that = 16.310 in the 1/4

In the 1/8 you are looking at around 10.389

Well, my best
1/8 @ 8.657 83.35mph
1.4 @ 13.251 109.20mph

I've had it up pretty high, lol, not topped out. Once I get over 100 my acceleration really starts to slow down, lol.

Mods since that 13.2 run
Torque Management Tune
True Dual Exhaust
KRC 224 Cams
Edge 3000 Stall
ASP 3.25" Pulley
SPAL Controller
Proform E-fan
