0-60 about 2.5 minutes

1/4 mile = 3 hours.

ok so i timed my 0-60 4 times and i got around 15.3 for all of em...the low was 14.87 and the high was 15.73

this is w/ no performace upgrades/add-ons and tow off and tailgate up
i am going to run it again after the exhaust/spark plugs/cai/powerwire/jet chip s 1

so there are the raw numbers...on a 05 ram 1500 3.7

I hope you mean 1/4 mile times, no way does it take 15 seconds to get to 60 mph.
