Dan,
Do you have the Club or regular cab? Mine is a Club Cab.
the 6.96 / 0-60 time is right in line with 15.4 / 1/4 mile,
the 6.59 / 0-60 I'll find out this Friday if all goes well.
I was going to go to the track last Friday before my ignition
fiasco and get my R/T timed but it didn't happen. Hopefully next week
end I be able to go and get a 1/4 mile time. I can tell you the truck
got faster after about a 1,000 miles and there was a big difference
after the air box and air filter mods. Here is a copy of the post on
how I did the air box mod from about a week or two ago.
Removed the air box from the truck and disconnected
the intake pipe. Then I cut the intake pipe right before the flex joint
where it enters the box (leaving the flex joint). Bought a 4" intake
hose from Pep Boys auto parts and attached that to the cut end
of the air box intake (everything still out of the truck). I then
trimmed (Don't laugh it worked) a 4" floor register boot so only
2" of the rectangular part was left connected to the 4" round part.
Then I bent it like a piece of origami to get it beside the radiator
and partially past the rubber splash boot. Once this was in I
flared it back into shape. After this was done I trimmed the rubber
splash guard to fit the opening and connected the 4" intake hose
to the round part of the intake flange next to the radiator (At this
point the intake pipe is still not attached to the air box). Last
step was just putting back the air box while slipping the intake
pipe in. I dressed up the edge of the boot where it comes through
the splash guard with high temp tape, taping the splash guard
to the duct work. Then sprayed painted it flat black, looks nice.
All in all it took about 2 hours $20 and a couple of
sliced fingers. Now when you open up the hood you see about a
6" flared hole to the left of the radiator that reduces down to a 4"
pipe a straight shot about a foot long jams in the air into the
air box . Also installed K&N air filter in the original air box drops
right in part #P5249605 Dodge dealers have it or will order
it for about $50-$60.
