Jeff;
Ever considering going to a smaller gear ratio, like the 4.10 or 4.34 for
your truck?

Subject: DML: 4.7 Tq vs 5.9 R/T
Matt, The R/T has more TQ then us, but doesn't get to use all of it when
they have larger loss ratios in their auto than you do with the 5 speed. So
it wouldn't be a 50 Ftlb difference at the rear wheel.
Next subject After calling MSD and getting wiring schematics and other
info, MSD confirms that thir distributorless ignitioin system will work on
4.7. Problem is price You need 2 of their 4 channel units, plus 4 of their
2 channel signal inverters (tach adapters being used as inverters) Totals
up to about $900. A little too much, fer sure
At the local (Tampa,Fl) Sat night cruise-in, We had 8 Dakotas together. A
pretty good showing for just a normal Sat night. 5 R/T's and 3 sports.
Don't know where the SLT's hide around here.
See Ya
