If you want the old Dak to run CHANGE THE FRIGGIN GEARS.. I bout my
Dak with 3.55 and dumped a ton of cash in it and had it running
13.teens religiously. Well, I got a tip to change the gearing to 3.92
and it would vastly inprove my times.. si I did and I went from 13.19
to 13.60.. Needless to say, I now have my 3.55 back in it.. The
Magnums don't like the gearing as much as the non-magnums.
