Richard, sorry you got overlooked in all the shit that's flying around
here lately.....

I have almost the same truck as you. 1993 regular cab, 318
auto (of course it's auto since it's a '93 V8) Mopar computer, K&N
FIPK, Flowmaster dual catback, Transgo shift kit, F&B stage one
throttle body... I also have 3.55's and an open rear. Race weight is
right at 3795 lbs. At the time of the following run I had around
80,000 miles on the clock. Temp was in the 50's I believe. I also
used a ps and ac bypass belt. 255/60 street radials with about 18psi
in them...

R/T .457
60' 2.243
330 6.167
1/8 9.392
MPH 76.64
1000 12.181
1/4 14.563
MPH 94.39

Sounds like you have a fairly fast Dak for the mods...
