I am new here and I dont know of this was asked or not.
I looked all over and could not find 0-60 ~ 1/4 mile times for a 2005SLT (four door)4.7L dakota.
I found on motorweeks website a 2door laramie AWD times. It was like 0-6= 8.somthing 1/4mile was 17.2 seconds.
I found a 2 door st RWD that did the 1/4 mile in 16.1 up to 16.5 secs. I cant seem to find any four doors.

also, inorder to get my rated 230Hp 290ft tourqe do what type of gas do I need to run? 87? higher? whats the difference between the grades of gas? does it increase Hp? what about milege? I may sound like I dont know a whole bunch about cars, but I didnt learn everything in my autoshop.

Any help would be great,
Thank you.

 

my 05 4.7 cc runs a steady 14.2 14.4 in the quarter. but i have aftermarket cams and pcm. out of the box 17.0 is kinda slow. most people run 89, i have to run 93, 87 is just junk.

 

where did you get the cams/pcm from?

 

www.krcperformance.com 750.0 for both cams and the flash was 35.00 but the cam install was 400.00

 

Can you post your slips please? I find 14.2 out of one of these boats hard to choke down. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it happen...just hard to believe is all.

 

I did a 16.95 @ 77mph. It would have been faster, but I had slowed down to find the damn line. I saw a bunch of other lines before the finish line. I'm working on getting some stuff to increase my speed and lower my time.

 

lol, funniest thing I've read in a long time.

What "lines" were you seeing?

Were you on CRACK! I think I caught you!!!

 

Also, my truck seems to like 89 octane the best, which seems to be the consensus for most of the 4.7's...

 

LOL. I guess Portland International Raceway is two tracks combined drag/oval. I guess the lines represent part of the oval or something. THere were a lot of lines toward the end.

 

On my HO, a while back I noted that I was using 87 b/c I didn't feel any diff. from 93 (91 is reccommended for the HO).....But I've changed my mind over the last several months....I am only using 92/93 now and there is a difference--I went back to 87 a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait for that tank to end so I could replace it with the 93!!!
