Well i guess my truck is just a friggen slow ass lemon from the factory or
something,
but you do have a lot more mods than i do..my engine is basically stock...no
upgraded
computer or injectors or ignition system.....yes its an auto..so that has
something to
do with it....but i thought i was a vast improvement from stock...plus(this
is for charles
and his Durango)I don't have the luxury of 360ci and 345 lb ft of torque to
yank my ass off
the line..the truck feels stock coming off the line until the boost comes in
at 3500rpm
then off we go....the track conditions were horrible....it was damn
hot..were talking
105-110 degrees. But all is ok....she's gonna get an intercooler, an msd, a
boost retard, a
9# pulley, upgraded injectors, a v8 TB, and some other parts and then im
gonna go an embarrass
some elitists!!!

Just wondering, are u 4wd?? Auto or stick? I got the v6 Powerdyne and I ran
a
15.8@88 mis-shifting from 2nd to 5th! Wasted a good 1/4 of my runway trying
to get it back into 3rd. I could easily run at the very least a 15 flat
probably as good as a 14.7 on my best day. Stock my best time was 16.47@82.
If you do have an auto I'd suggest a shift kit and a torque converter. That
would probably make almost as much difference as the SC (if not in track
time
then in Butt-Dyno times)
