Steve, yell at Chris Lambert, he ran his truck at the Va DML meet, same
truck as yours, except he has the 5 spd. not sure which gear Chris has.
You should be able to take the Durango. not sure what the weight of a
Durango is, but I'm betting every bit of 4500 pounds, your truck should be a
few hundred less.
My '00 Regular cab weighs 3670 without me in it.
I'm betting your times should be in the 15.0 to 15.3 range.

Okay guys I need some benchracing opinions!
First Goliath:
My buddy has a 99 Durango 4x4 with the 360.
It has Mopar Headers, Mopar Catback, and a K&N air intake.
He has the ram air hood but its non functional right now.
I don't know the gearing. But those white viper stripes he
put on it must be worth a coupla tenths!!!
Now here comes David.....
My new '00 Dak, SLT+ Luxo Club Cab
4.7L Auto
3.92 gears with (pick one) Sure-Grip, Limited Slip, Trak-Lock, or Anti-Spin
255-65-15 Goodyear Eagle LS's (Wide but, hard compound)
I have a Gibson Catback with no other mods (yet!).
The Street Legal drag season at Pomona Raceway will be starting up soon and
I'm sure I'll be challenged. Not sure if I should hide or not. He's got a
bigger engine and more mods, but I would think the Durango is quite a bit
heavier. I'm thinking my Dak would have the advantage. Gotta get him
soon, before he swaps cams, ports heads, and puts in the MP computer.
