 Subject: 4.7L 1/4 Mile Time
IP: Logged
Message:
Hey,
I just wanted to know what people thought my avg 1/4 mile time would be for a 2002 4.7L Dakota Club Cab 5speed with 3.92 in the rear. It would have the following mods:
K&N Intake, Headers, Exhaust, KRC Heads, HO Cams, Valvetrain upgrade, ECU Tweaking/reprogram, Stronger clutch.
My goal is to have a truck that will run a mid to high 13 in the 1/4 mile but still be reliable for towing.
Thank you,
Lance

Hey Lance,
youd probably run mid to low 14's with that list of mods. How do you like the KRC heads? I will eventually get those but dont know how well they perform. And how about that programmed ECU, who reprogrammed it for you?
Thanks,
Steve

02 Harley, 13.0 isn't crap to brag about. If it's a bike, it's shameful. My bike did 10.0 @ 144mph, with a good lauch it'd be in the 9's. Harley is the most overpriced, ancient, crap on the road.
Although I usually don't talk smack to anybody, including bikes, you seemed to deserve it.

02 Harley probably has the Found On Road Dead harley davidson ford. Stock har. dav. ford trucks arent even close to 13's so keep dreaming.
and to get 13's in a dakota is easy with lots of $$$. Heads, pistons, compression, intakes, exhaust, gears, suspension, tires... etc, etc... How much are you willing to spend determines wether you want 13's, 12's, 11's, etc... Find a good machine shop and engine builder and you can have 13's easy on all motor. Just remember power to weight ratio and Dakotas can be heavy. Good luck. Brad P.

ok do people from this site go to Chevy and Ford sites on the net and talk trash? cause i've been seeing alot of these dildos posting here lately...yes DP i agree that hd f-150s are crap and probably wont break 15's stock...who's smart idea was it to start a line of ugly f-150's and call them harley davidson edition? maybe dodge should start producing a special quad cab ram and put "CR-125 Honda edition" decals on it?...

I think its hilarious. I killed one of those Harley Davidson Fords the other day and I had a blown pan on my intake manifold. I would love to line up with one again.. Maybe I should find a lightning instead.

I put trac-bars and headers and new wide tires
this is a 5.2 and K&N filter, I should run 14.50s
My truck was as fast as the RTs when I didnt have these parts, and I had wheel hop real bad.
So you dont need alot of $$$ to run 13S.

Just as fast as RT's?? Are you comparing reg. cab to ext. cabs??? A bone stock 5.2 with 25 less hp is just as fast as 5.9RT given weight and gears and the entire truck is the same????? Why would Dodge drop in a 360 and add 3.92 gears if its going to have the same performance as your stock 5.2L??? Doesnt add up. Look at 1/4 mile calculators all over the internet and plug in 4200lbs. (ext cab dakota) with 230hp (5.2L) and you get around low 16's. To come down 2.5 to 3 seconds in the quarter- it will definately take a lot of $$$. Maybe everybody's opinion of "a lot" of money differs quite a bit.

Look, when I went to buy I knew what I was looking for, reg. cab, short bed , and 5 speed,with 392. this truck at scales only plugs in at 3700lbs. Now you know why it is as fast as the R/Ts.

Get in a car , lets say a reg. old dak. same gear,same truck all around,except one with 5 speed one with auto,the 5 speed will out run the automatic, you will start at 800 rpm,the guy with the five speed will start at 1500 rpm, It takes more power to pull a automatic trans then it doese to pull a 5 speed. why do you thank they put a 6 speed in a viper , why in my 95 dakota with tow package did they put a five speed,because it would pull more. when i dyno it , it had 325 foot pounds torque stock not 295,
so whats the torque on a stock R/T with 392.

Definately wrong on towing capacities I am sorry to say. I admit the manual trans can accelerate quicker because the converter can soak up some of the torque and hp but towing weight for an auto is more than manual. I have a '01 Ram and the owner's maunual shows towing for a 1500 series quad cab max trailer weight at- 7350lbs.(auto) and 2700lbs.(manual w/3.21 gears), 4400lbs.(manual w/3.55and3.92 gears). I can take digital pictures of the owners manual for proof if you want. Dont know how the hell this got started but its getting a little ridiculous. Let me know if you want to see the pics.

The tow ratings mostly have to do with the suspension. Compare the tow rating of the R/T vs. a similar style 4.7 or 5.2. The R/T's rating is lower because of the suspension. In the 03 brochure, the tow ratings listed are based on the engine size, cab size, and 4x2 vs 4x4. No mention of the transmissions. And the drivetrain loss of a manual is about 5% less than the automatics. You lose more power in the auto's becuz of the hydraulics. But I do believe the Dodge manual tranny's are weaker. That's why they don't offer them in the R/T or the Ram hemi.

I dont know what suspension has to do with trailer towing weight but I was talking about the exact same truck with auto vs. manual. The owner's manual specifically shows how the auto equipped with any gear ratio can tow more trailer weight than the maunual. I think the weak link is in the clutch. A stock clutch just cant hold up to the weight, it would just start slipping on the flywheel. When you say hydraulics, you are talking about the torque converter right? And why do you think manual trannys are weak for Dodge?

What track is open at 1:30 in the morning? And what were you running because your 1/8 mile times reflect a low to mid 14 sec 1/4 mile time. Supercharged? Turbo? Nitrous after half track?
