Just want to hear how i compare to other 318s and R/Ts I have a 93 Dakota
regular
cab auto,3.55 gears(open) with 127,000 miles. so far i've installed a Mopar
computer(biggest performance gain) removed muffler installed 3 inch straight
pipe after converter,(loud and don't sound so good but cheap)48% reduction
crank pulley,shift kit,K&N filter stock air cleaner housing (removed baffle
in front of radiator) with drag radials(wore out and too tall 275x60x15)
the best I've run is 9.21 at 77 mph in the 1/8 mile at about 80 degrees 60
ft
is 2.1 (feels like bogging probably from too tall of tires and 3.55 gears)
I
also have a Grand National with a 190,000 miles that runs 8.26 at 84 in the
1/8 but
thats another story. the fastest R/T i,ve seen run is 9.6 at 74 mph with
K&N and Flowmaster exhaust, with a homemade ram air so I think I'm doing ok.
Please let me know and I always appeciate cheap performance tips cause I
stay
broke most of the time. Thanks for your time. Richard

Since response to my earlier post was so over whelming (0) I thought I would
repost it, I guess if I had some great post like what does R/T stand for or
what Mopar stands for I might have had a better response. And as far as
throttle bodies and who makes the best why not get one vehicle and try them
all and post either dyno results or preferably drag strip results. just my
.01 cents worth. Richard
