RE: Thermostat replacement and 1/8th mile times.

You also stated that you had run a 18 and a 17.98 with and without the
eRam...also with the timing problem. Get it checked out and fixed...then
run it again. (Sounds like you're blaming bad times on the wrong thing.)

Let me correct the times:

Houston Raceway Actual Times

No Dual-eRam or NOS: 17.92 sec. @ 74.63 mph (NO Jet-II either)
Dual-eRam but No NOS: 17.56 sec. @ 76.28 (No Jet-II either)
Dual eRam and NOS: 16.95 sec. @ 78.95 MPH

That was with the 25HP Sneeky Pete system...i've since switched to the NX
Kit and tested it with the G-Tech. Since the original times with the G-Tech
were accurate with the actual timeslips, I feel comfortable with the results
now.

1997 Dakota SLT/CC V6 (4390Lbs!)
Dual eRam, 125HP NOS, Jet-II, 93 Oct Chevron w/NOS Octane Booster:
15.8 @ 84mph

It's a v6 regular cab? what else do you have in it? temperature outside?
I
have a 97 v6 CC auto and it runs 17.6s. actually ran 17.4 without e-ram,
new intake tube, underdrive pullies and a ported TB. but i also a lot of
stupid advanced timing i can't figure out where it's coming from.
