That would surprise me. When I ran my Dakota I did 16.9 at 82, IIRC. 318
with shorty headers, Magnaflow 3" cat back, K&N FIPK, SuperChips
programmer, and I'm pretty sure I had my spare tire and fiberglass topper.
With 3.55 gears on 30" tires. The Ram is heavier, but not by that much.
Though we will be very short on air up there..... So you may be right.
I'll probably run my truck down the track for laughs. With any luck I'll
have my 5.38 gears and rear air locker in by then so I might be able to
get out of my own way and at least break into 16s again. I'm probably
around 16 seconds 0 to 60 right now, it feels like. Unless my gears are
just soooo terrible I could do it in low range ;-)
