Why does it look like she's bogging out of the hole? You are right
though...with the mods you've done (listed on the website) it "should be" a
lot faster than that.

You raised the powerband with the Cam and Intake...what about the
TQ-Convertor? My guess (without knowing all the details) would be a
2300-2400 stall instead of the 2000-2100 factory (unless they're different
for the Gen-II's). That...and what gears you running? (I think you already
told me on the phone...but I can't remember.)

One good thing though....VERY consistent! :)

Well, I took the Dak out to the track again...damn if she wasn't
consistent...but, even after getting the timing adjusted, she ran about the
same as she did the last time I brought her out...

I've got to figure out what isn't quite right on my Dakota and soon, before
it drives me insane... Might end up taking it to Speedworks in Lewisville
and have them dyno tune it...

Mark, Bernd, Will....and anyone else...take a look at all my runs and tell
me if you see anything interesting...
