Good point.
What about a 408 running in tow/RV tune? I see KRC has a 408 kit that is set
up for stock intake/manifolds/PCM/ignition/etc.
What are your thoughts on running one of those in a 4x4? Specifically,
running one of those torque monsters against stock drivetrain?
Just curious as to whether -any- stroker kit is worth it for the 4x4 Daks or
not. I saw a project truck set up once that dropped a crate hemi into a 2000
Dakota QC that was running a full time transfer case (it was the only way to
get power to the ground!), but obviously the whole drivetrain had some
serious work done on it.
