ive seen a few 4.7 RC's 5-speeds go 15oh's dead stock. i havent seen any go 14's yet but there might be some out there that are stock. you can do a cat back exhaust, true duals, throttle body, headers, relocate iat, H.O. cams, the possibilities are endless.

GOOD CHOICE! I think they run 14.8-15.4 depending on where you live and the skill of the driver. I am not the best person to answer the warranty part, but most parts shouldn't make too much of a difference. You will not be unhappy with this combination, you went with one of the fastest setups you can get from the Dakota.

The warrenty issue depends on your service department. Technically, if something breaks, and you make a warrenty claim, they have to prove that the mod CAUSED the malfunction in order to deny the warrenty.
I think your new truck should run 14s, I'd love to see it happen! They are SO close to running 14s stock, my club cab does 15.2 w/ intake and exhaust, but it's a club cab, and 3.55.
BTW, how did you find such an awesome truck, 2002 year still on the lot??

i haven't quite got it yet, but hearing you guys talk makes me very anxious to get it. so you thingk with a k+n and drag radials it will be in the 14's? if so, iam very happy. another question though, is how bad is the insurance going to be? i would like to hear what you guys are paying? also, i know it would void the warrenty for sure but would a 75shot be able to bring it into the 13's maybe?

Justin, the insurance in comparison to performance in a brand new vehicle is unbeatable. That is actually one of the main reasons I got my truck setup the way you did. I bet you can not find another 2002 vehicle with a better payment/performance ratio than the truck you just got. The payment depends largely on you as a driver. Bottom line, you'll like it. Me: 19/Male daily driver (school/work), no tickets, I pay 180/Month.
75 should do it, but I think that's the most KRC or Bernd (smarty pants know everything guys ;) said that is about the maximum.
Here is some good reading material on your new engine: http://dodgeram.org/tech/gas/Cammer/4_7_v8.html

a 75 shot should shave at least a full second
off of your ET's. those slicks will definately
help, probably 2-3 tenths. depending on how
hard you want to dump the clutch...you could
probably be in the 13's with the nitrous.
Me...23 male student/work no tickets no
accidents $175.00 per month.
if you dont need the club cab for extra room,
you've made a very good choice : )

$90, damn. I have friends who pay 100 for early 90s sedans (Accord, Sentra, etc.) I can't even imagine insurance that low.

I was at the track last Sat. Was cold and wet here in Ontario Can but I managed a 15.5 with next to no traction in first. 2.4 60' was my best.
I didn't take off anything and left the tailgate up. Just no clutch fan. My 2003 is 3 weeks old and is 100% stock. Its a CC 4.7 5 speed 3.92. I think the track is at 700 feet above . I figure with slicks it will be close to the 15.0 mark.
