I really should use the more proper Magnum R/T package name as the Dakota
did not come from the factory as an R/T, but I would have ordered it if
they had.

Sure, you bet! A Magnum R/T conversion consists of:
1) A Magnum Engine Controller (SBEC)
2) Performance exhaust
3) Low restriction air filter (K&N)
4) Magnum V-8 Camshaft kit
5) Performance headers
I have done everything except #4 (for lack of cash).
MP Engineers achived between 2-3 seconds quicker 0-60 times with improved
gas mileage and an increase of bout 45-50 HP and about 50 ft/lbs of
torque. All of this is C.A.R.B. approved! You can have Dodge put it in
for you!

Check your options list, see what your dealer can get for you. My Dakota
was ordered from the factory with the sport package for $13,000.
Cheers!
