Ran at Bandimere which is roughly 1 mile above sea level. Here is my best slip time.
r/t = .620 man did I sleep on this one, my best was a .201
60' = 2.525
330' = 6.884
1/8 = 10.46 at 69.38 mph
1000' = 13.494
E.T. = 16.026 at 89.35 mph shifted manually w/esp off & no power brake
Sea Level Corrected = 14.865 at 96.25 mph

Overall I think the truck did well for only having 2100 miles on it and 1 mile above sea level. Truck also had almost a full tank of fuel and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to run it since this was its first trip down the track. This truck could easily get into the 15's on a good day for the truck and driver.

 

Not bad at all for your altitude down there I am in the Springs, closer to 7000ft and can not do any better than 7 seconds'ish from 0 to 60 here. I think there is a track in Pueblo which is lower than Bandimere? Thanks for posting your times.

 

Thanks for posting this. One of the top reason I chose the Dodge was because of it's throttle response. I'm sure you could have got down into the 15's if you power braked it. Next time put your tailgate down too, it'll make it go faster,,,,

 

The correction Denver correction factor is about .93 so 16.026 *.93 = 14.9 seconds at Sea level. I think when you have about 5K or so more on your truck and use Tow haul and or manual shift you will be in the 14.5 second(corrected) range which seems about right for a 4x4 RCSB depending on the rear end gears - which do you have?

 

I have 3.92 gears.

 

Throttle response? In THESE trucks? With that oppressive torque management system? I think not. There is NO throttle response. Floor it, and it bogs instantly. It doesn't wake up until 3,000+ revs. If the bean counters at Chrysler had let them design a decent tranny that could stand up to the brute force of this motor, and oppressive government CAFE standards didn't mandate a drive by wire setup, these new trucks would be rockets. But instead, they suck.

 

While I agree with you totally about the Fed CAFE BS, I am at a loss as to why your truck "sucks" and only "bogs" when you hit it. When I nail mine, it explodes and I feel the back of my seat just fine. I'll take your word at the description of *your* Ram, but mine gets up and goes- in fact it hauls *****. Man if it "sucks" then the Titan, Tundra and F-150's I have beat must really suck

 

Mine seems to run ok. The torque management is oppressive on the 1-2 shift, but that's about the only place I'd call it oppressive.

 

14.8 isnt bad for a stock truck, even if the times are corrected. Just look at what the other cars where running that night to get an idea. A few months ago i went to the track and couldnt do much better than a 14.4 when my previous best was a 14 flat (both before my tune) . Then i started noticing how the other cars where running. A few Z06's were struggling to get into the 12's (wish I had recorded it) and I saw a few bolt on mustang GT's run 14 flat.

Some double cab 5.7 tundras are running 14.5 stock. others cant get out of the 15's. DA can be a bitch.

 

When the tuner comes out you can adjust your throttle ratio
