what will it run?

[cullins]

Hey guys im new to the forum I had a 01 r/t had to sell it a few years back. Well now i got a 99 reg cab i just picked up its got shorty headers, k&n fipk ,and athrottle body spacer. Lets hear it what do you think it will run. Im going to the track sunday to see whats up before i start getting into it just trying to get a baseline.:drive::rockwoot::woot:

[1hotkadota]

Low 15's to high 14's. The throttle body spacer is useless and just adds weight.:jester:

Lose that and get a better TB.

[grapejuice1998]

I'll guess 14.90. After the mods, I'd guess 14.80, because the FIPK is probably the only mod listed that will help you out any.
The shorty headers are equal to the factory manifolds IMO. The real restriction in the exhaust would be in the y pipe and cat converter. That and the size of the pipes themselves.
The t/b spacer will make a nice little whistle, but other than reducing the amount of hood clearance you have, it won't be good for anything else.

14.8-15.3

[BTLFED R/T]

[cullins]

Where does everybody buy there parts from? Is there in paticular that are easy to saerch and have pretty good service. Thanks for any info fellas help me help my r/t hahaha

[BTLFED R/T]

Go straight to the source for the F&B throttle bodies. http://www.fbthrottlebodies.com/products.htm

There is also, www.socaldakota.com , southeastrt, krc performance, Summit...etc

That's what we're here for, to spend other peoples hard on money! :jester:

[cullins]

Thats what i bought the truck for to spend my hard earned money on hahah!

[cullins]

Well it was cold at the track 40 degrees and i had problems hooking up but i ran a 14.55 at 93mph. 14.7 consistant but 2 14.5s.:woot:

[krusty_R/T]

Not too bad! What kind of 60's were you running? Did you leave the TB spacer on? lol

[cullins]

I dont remember what exactly my 60 fyt was. I know i had some that where 2.1. I will have to check my slips when i get home. Hell ya i had the tb spacer whistle was making power hahahaha! The track was dead i was there less than 4 hrs and ran 18 times and i was taking breaks and spectating.

Hell yeah! I was right! Check my first post in this thread, 14.5! What do I win? :jester:

Nice runs for not much done! :biggthumpup:

[cullins]

hahah Yeah i saw that you where right on the time. Yeah i was happy with the runs would of been nice to have some traction. :burnout:

[got_torque]

That truck with those mods in Texas would run a low 15 at best. What the hell.

[cullins]

Must be something in the water. I ran a 14.9 with a k&n filter with my old 01 cc.

[got_torque]

Must be, took me headers, exhaust, M1, and superchips to run 14.9. Just ordered aq 52mm tb, so hoping to go a little faster next time out. Running a ported stocker right now.

It's not you, it IS tough to run a good time here, especially at the Motorplex. If you want good e.t.'s in Texas, go down to Houston, or over to Rusk.

Hey Jason, your truck went 9.8 1/8th tonight!!

[BTLFED R/T]

Hey Jason, your truck went 9.8 1/8th tonight!!

:jester: What is that in real racing length?

[got_torque]

:jester: What is that in real racing length?

What? Im confused. He cant talk shit any more, I put down several 9.1s last time!!!

[BTLFED R/T]

What? Im confused. He cant talk shit any more, I put down several 9.1s last time!!!

I meant what does that compute to 1/4 mile? Was he on street tires or the MTs? Up here that truck smokes you! :jester:

[cullins]

hahah im confused did my thread get jacked or you talkin to me my name is jason.

[fastdodgert]

southeast RT are my local guys down here. some good people over there. they did my transmission

[fastdodgert]

what would be a good throttle body for a mildly modified R/T. lets says heads,cam, intake,full exhaust with shorty headers(soon to be long tube), mopar pcm, intake manifold

[got_torque]

I meant what does that compute to 1/4 mile? Was he on street tires or the MTs? Up here that truck smokes you! :jester:

Im gonna say its a 15.0 - 15.1..... Well if I take my truck up there than maybe I smoke him....if I actually smoke him down here that is.......:nana:

I been chatting with him off and on. I think he had it heat soaked and was definitely not launching it correctly.

i would go with the 52mm f/b. there's one on ebay right now.. search dakota r/t... i think the bids at 250. if it stays under 350/375- id call that a deal.

So is 15.761 good for an 03 cc with only flowmasters on? I just bought the truck about a month ago.

I just ran it tonight and got that @ 88.23mph

[BTLFED R/T]

For only having mufflers that's about normal. My RC when bone stock only went a 15.8 first time out. Weather factors in alot. It's not great, but there has certainly been worse. It'll get better!

[DakRat33]

ah, ok...I thought it would do better than that

My 01 Ranger did better w/intake, exhaust, gears, but no tune, and it was a 4.0 V6....hmm

without getting into the internals, just bolts ons (M1 intake, 52mm tb, K&N, longtubes, duals, underdrive pulley), what might it run? and this would be w/out changing the tires (Toyos @ this time)

[BTLFED R/T]

Should run at least low 14s, possibly high 13s.

[slvr03dakrt]

It should run low 14's or high 13's

[DakRat33]

ok cool...thanks

[slvr03dakrt]

also once you get those mods done you will probably need to get the computer retuned. I had shorty headers with true duals, m1 2bbl, 52mm fastman tb, 1.7rr, cai, drag radials and i ran a 14.2 @96mph

[DakRat33]

yeah I figured about the tune...I did that too on my old truck and got 14.9 out of it...on street tires

At sea level? Best passes I got from my 99 CC, full weight, bone stock with RSAs were 15.2@88. Backed it up 3 times on the same day.

[DakRat33]

I don't know the altitude of Sacramento Raceway. Maybe 120 ft. Maybe less. Not sure

But we'll see what else I can do when I get more done

[blackrt32]

my best run all stock just like it left the show room was a 14.86 on my 01 rc
