Went to the track tonight....
Not in the Ram, but took the Hemi 'rango down the 1/8 a couple times.
I am so desperate to run something down the track, I went ahead and took the wife's Durango with me. I told myself Id be 'happy' with a 10.5, first run was a 10.446 @ 68mph, blazing huh?? Lol, beats a blank though, better than just watching. If anything, I have a hellofa bracket racer. Very consistant, slow, but consistant. The worst run was a 10.51, and the best was the very last, a 10.444 @ 67 mph.
Very strange, the more I 'stalled' it up, the worse my times were. The 2 10.5** runs I had, I was standing on the brake, stalling it up to3.5k or so. Leaving @ 2k, got my better runs...??? Doesnt make sense....
Rwd hemi 'rangos with intake/exhaust dyno around 247 to the wheels. Mine is awd, with exhaust only, so Im MAYBE putting 225 to the ground, if that. Thats how inefficient these dodge trannies are.
BTW, whats the difference b/t curb weight and gross vehicle weight rating? The curb is 5100, and the gvwr is 6600?? Either way, its heavy.
