    Finally got the truck to the track..

    Run 1, I couldn't see the flags at the end so I think I let off at near the 1000 mark then had to get back in it...
    R/T .488
    60 2.253
    1/8 9.669
    mph 72.85
    1/4 16.014
    mph 63.21

    Run 2, Stayed in it this time and heard the drive belt slipping at only 5lbs(screeching), hiccuped off the line(bog) with a little wheel hop. Shifting at 5k...
    R/T .476
    60 2.230
    1/8 9.691
    mph 71.66
    1/4 15.113
    mph 90.54

    I was a little down about the numbers but there's room to improve (truck and driver) but not too bad for a 4445lb truck/driver....

    I'd say that's not so bad for the first time out with it.

    Trucks can be a pain to get off the line just right.

    Sorry I could have been more informative eh??

    It is a 2001 Dakota club R/T, 5.9 with a V1 running 5lbs right now. The only mods are the blower, headers with a "ported" cat, injectors, and ignition.
    I just did the trans and was starting to think I did something wrong.. She really slows down between 2nd and 3rd gears and slowly picks back up..
    Luckily the guys on the Dakota forums are as helpful as the guys here and Boostedmopar!

    The last bit I got today.. "Next time out at track, leave off the line in 2nd, and you manually shift into 3rd. That should eliminate 3rd gear bog.."

    Good Job! Do you have any numbers for it before you added the S/C? It would be interesting to know what you gained. I'll bet it sounds good, I love the supercharged 'whine'.

    My dad had a 98 Regular cab back in 00'. It had a Kenne Bell SC. Kenne Bell Headers, 3" Exhaust, 6lb. pulley, Kenne Bell Fuel Optimizer, Walbro 255, and Mickey Thompson 14" Sportsmans.

    It ran 13.91@96 in some 100* heat. The floormat was bunched up under the gas pedal. It also was knocking and pulling timing. It would roast the stock goodyear's from a 60 roll.

    So all that considered I'd say there is more room to gain in your setup.
