Terry,

Very impressive numbers from your G-Tech and '98 Dakota 5.2L.

A few more mods and your gonna be running 14's. Sounds like your truck
could give the soon to released '98 Dakota R/T a run for it's money! You
have the advantage with the 5-speed. But in the long run cubic inches make
up the difference. Check out my Dakota R/T & Ram SS/T websites and let me
know what you think. Send me some images of your Dakota too if you have
any!

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Happy Holidays folks...

I just received a GTECH pro accelerometer for Christmas and could not
resist the urge to try it out. I have a 98 Reg. CAB Sport SWB V8 5spd
with 3.92SG. My only modification to date is a K&N open element
filter.
Here is the data I obtained from this device.

Run 1
0-60mph. 7.52 sec. , too much wheel spin &
shifted at 5000rpm
Run 2
0-60mph. 7.33 sec. , bogged it from the start &
shifted at 5000rpm
Run 3
0-60mph. 7.11 sec. , rode the clutch out with
optimal wheel spin &
hifted at 5000rpm.
Run 4
0-60mph. 7.14 sec. , same as last run.

I made one 1/4 mile pass and it registered 15.58@92.7mph.

*Note: Testing was performed on a closed segment of highway during the
wee hours of the morning.
