I just baselined my Dakota at the track last week.
Weight: about 4200 lb with appearance add-ons
Bolt-ons: K&N dropin, Gibson dual split rear exits,
'96 MP SBEC
E.T.: 16.11 @ 85 (probably could have achieved 15.9
with a more aggressive launch
and overdrive off)
Goal: 14.9 sec.
Planned modifications (have been costed out):
Magnum R/T camshaft package
MP valve springs
MP retainers
MP 1.6 rockers
Mike Leach headers (ceramic coated)
Upgrade K&N dropin to whatever
275/60x15 BFG drag radials (will be here tomorrow)
B&F Stage II throttle body
Questions:
Is my E.T. goal achievable with the above?
Can my goal be achieved in a less expensive manner
and still be normally aspirated?
Any personal suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
