This is strange, but I guess every Dak is different. Mopar muscle did an
article in Feb of '97 on a Supercharged Dak. These are the times they ran.
"Bone stock our 5.2l dakota with automatic transmission and 3.91 gearing
turned in a 15.87/86.10 time slip.
Installing a Mopar Performance computer, headers and free-flowing exhaust
dropped the Dakota to 15.04/89.95.
Stock computer and a Vortech was now running 14.4/95.78 with six pounds of
boost at 6000rpm. MSD 6btm and the MP computer was 14.01/97.43...........
Magnum R/T camshaft package and high performance valve springs.
13.65/102.2........Stock converter was stalling around 1200.....Fairbanks
converter stalls at 2400 and flashes to 2800.......Fresh Mickey Thompson
Sportsmans....13.25/107.12.....When you can turn low 13's in a 3800 pound
vehicle, especially a pickup truck, with no loss of driveability,
dependability or fuel economy, its obvious many things have changed since the
musclecar days of the Sixties."
Thats from Mopar muschle pg 63, February 1997.
So Maybe those times arent that far off from the average. I find it hard to
believe that 14.4/95.78 is all they got out of a six pound boost! I ran a
14.87 with my Dak without the cam and Im not the only one!!! I mean they did
gain a second with the Sucker, and almost another second with the cam,
converter and Mickey's!!
