Andre,

I have driven a 94 Dakota 5.9 liter bone stock. My 5.2L has run a best of 15.05 in
83 degree heat. If he (5.9l dakota) would have had better traction...he could have
easily kicked my 5.2L ass. There is no substitute for Cubic Inches! I would have seen
nothing but the 5.9"s tailights. Thats a fact.
