Your 8th mile isnt too bad, its a 3.7 right? Makes sense why you didnt get much faster from the 1/8-1/4 mile low gear rat and small engine won't give you those higher end speeds.

You also have to remember you have them heavy *** 20's compared to your steelies that you once had. I wonder what I'd run for ****s and giggles. My 1st car (accord) ran a 16.3 as my best, my 2nd car (98 monte carlo Z34) ran a 15.9. I'm guessing the Ram should be high 16's or low 17's. Hell I don't know
