I just broke the 3100 mark on the engine. I am in for my first oil
change. From what I have raced and heard the MSD and Crane setups do
very well for heavy vehicles. The are a few SS Impalas at the track I
hate. They kick my butt every time... Well, I guess I need to make a
few more trips to the beach then, it's about 160 mile round trip....
That should be a nice even steady rack up of miles....hahahahahaha.....
I'm going to a Spring Fling Spectacular in Daytona at the ends of the
month. I should see a Mopar grouping and will ask lots of questions.
On tap short term, Florida Nationals at the local Bithlo track. I hope
to see the little Dak I saw qualify and kick butt.

Jason,
When I ran the 14.65 time, I had the following mods:
1. MSD ingition and Coil
2. Ported and polished T-body
3. Ram-air setup
4. Flowmaster 3" muffler and exhaust
5. 180 degree T-stat
The weight and horsepower figures seem to jive for me. Since I
ran that
time, I have added a set of Edelbrock headers and a Y-pipe. I
also had
beaten on the truck feircely with two 1/4 mile runs and five
hard and long
burnouts.
Whem the truck was new (1000 miles) I ran a 15.80 @ 88.50 but I
missed the
fourth shift, the engine was not broken in yet, and was traction
limited. I
got there late and I only had two chances to run before the
track closed.
How many miles on your Dak? If its less than 10,000, then give
it a chance
to break in, it will get faster as it gets older. Chrysler uses
very tight
tolerances in the Magnum engines which produces a lot of
friction, most
owners pick of at least 3 tenths as the engine gets some miles
on it.
