Message:
First off, thanks everyone for the help getting me started. I have a '00 Dakota Sport 3.9 regular cab with a 5spd. Ive had a best 1/4 mile time of 16.71 or so with the average time around 16.97 at the Rockingham Dragway. Was the clock off or is anyone elses bone stock V-6 Dak running times around mine? I would like to know.

Just remember when you're comparing the times of the Gen-II and Gen-III Dakota's...as stated in another thread, the Gen-II Dakota's are faster than the Gen-III's due to the lighter weight of the Gen-II's.

Wonder what i'd run with normal street tires instead of the 32" BFG A/T's..... ;)

My 95 X-Cab Auto V6 ran a best of 17.182 at 79, with a drop in K&N and dual glasspacks. I have since added Open Element K&N, Flowmaster dumped, V8 TB, 180 T'stat, MSD Blaster Coil, Accel 8mm wires, Autolite 3923, Bed Cover, Roll Pan. With the current mods i'm hopin for a 16.7-16.9. Any ideas or suggestions of what it'll run or what i can do to get more HP without spending alot of money?

Well, changing to the newer parts should put you at high 16's but the bed cover (added weight) may offset this. (Added weight = slower e/t's.)

It's a soft bed cover. i dunno how much it weighs but i don't think it's a whole lot. the bed cover is supposed to improve mph. i'm going to find out March 3 at the DML meet here in Louisiana

In that case, the weight from the soft cover might not even effect the outcome. (Thought you had a hard cover on it.)

gee what a bunch of stones i figured you guys could hit the 14's outta the box. what would it take to get you going that fast ? more nos or an older 360 with proven performance. see you at the track, perhaps in the rearview. anyway keep building.

Ok...wanna play it that way eh? Ok, take a Lightning (Bone Stock Factory Engine) and compare it to an R/T (5.9L). Mid 13's vs. high 14's (sometimes low 15's). Yeah, the "L" is Supercharged, but it's also 300lbs heavier.

You're comparing apples to oranges. The thread was 3.9L 1/4 mile times.

Ok...so you're actually one of the very few who doesn't know what a Ford Lightning is?

It's an F-150 SVT Package (Supercharged 5.4L OHC V8). Factory 1/4 mile times are anywhere from 13.8 - 14.1. With only about $600 in mods, they can easily hit 13.3 - 13.5 in the 1/4.
