Stan, my '95 Club Cab, 4x2, 3.90, sure-grip (the way it's listed on my
option
sheet), has run a best of:
reaction 60' 330 ' 1/8th 1/4 mi
S-----------------|-------------------|---------------------1/2-------------
------------|------------------------F
0.617 2.465 6.592 9.97 15.424
72.2 mph 90.42 mph
This was accomplished with tons of wheel spin off the line, about .5
seconds worth
on my shifts to 2nd, and a chirp into 3rd.... I shift from 3rd to 4th at
the 1/8th mile
mark, and my speed goes from 72.2-90.42 in that last bit (18.22 mph)...
Given
another hundred feet it would be over 100 mph...The pulling doesn't start
until
around 91-92 mph (butt dyno). Give the fact you have a SB vs. a club cab,
you
are looking at a 400# difference, and you are running BFG Drag radials. I
did this
with BFG AT tires!!! (215-75-15's). Of all my runs, the 3rd-4th is the
killer...A little
late, and my times are 'ok'-- higher mph, a little too soon and my times
are slower,
and slower mph... I 'only' have K&N FIPK, MP SBEC, and 3" CAT back
exhaust,
and DT headers... I went against another Dakota (stock except for 3" CAT
back
and MP SBEC)... His best was 15.8 @ 88.7 mph... He was running wider
tires
(size unknown)... Just curious, have you had your truck dyno'd??? Maybe
you
have a rare hp output (*higher than stock-- each truck is different).
I put out 212 hp and 277Ft.# of torque to the ground...
