Anywhere from 14.8-15.5 is what you'll get in a RC 4.7 5spd.

Matt Barret Posted this a few weeks ago-I find it inspiring! This his his recipe for Low 14's. But 14.8 off the floor! The Misssus is getting me a g tech for my B-day. You heap of gear heads (and MACE) has crossing over to the dark side-ba$tards!
Your pal,
DrQ
Matt's Recipe:
I put together a list of what I've done to get to low 14's, Normally Aspirated :) and quite possibly even quicker now :)
First of all, this is a RC 4.7L 5spd, 3.92 posi. Truck weighs 3670 off the showroom floor (3870 W/me)
1. Stock truck, 1000 miles +/-, added traction bars, lowered 2" in rear . Perfected the launch (1100 rpms), and the shift (5000 rpms +/-) and I ran 14.78, with lots of 14.8 & 14.9's.
2. Added my homemade air-intake K&N filter and DOT Hoosier Quicktime Pro slicks (28x11.5). Ran 14.48 after perfecting the MEGA clutch dump at 3500 rpms :) pulls approx 1G, with a 1.88 60' time.
3. Change over to Mobil 1 Synth oil & Lube added the Flowmaster cat back system & Doetch tech shocks. No noticable gain, other than it sounds like a Winston cup car, and handle awesome too.
4. Mike Leach custom PCM flash. Ran 14.23, with many 14.2's to back it up.
5. Hughes Engine Stage I 65mm TB & 180 tstat. No noticable gain.
RECENT MODS, have'nt tested any of these at the track, YET.
1. Calvert racing, Caltrac traction bars
2. Hughes Engines Stage I 68mm TB
3. F&B 69mm Billett TB
4. Bernd's IAT adjuster
With these additional mods, espesially the F&B TB, I'm hoping for a 14.1, and maybe a 14.0.
Other info: truck currently has approx 150 documented 1/4 runs (excel spreadsheet). I've been using Bosch +4 plugs for about a year now.
Always use 1 can of NOS octane boost (silver can)when racing. Most 1/4 runs were with spare tire, jack, and tailgate removed. Race weight is usually 3560 + driver= 3760 +/-.
Front tires @ 50 psi, slicks @ 16 psi
Breakage: Yep, if you launch this 5 spd at 3500 (with slicks), it will eventually grenade. Believe it or not, the rear end seems to be weaker than the trans. I totally destroyed the rear end on the 135th launch. The trans went out on me while strapped to a dyno, however I feel it was the speedshops fault, won't go into details, but warranty covered it thank god.
Overall, its a fun truck on the street and strip. The 5 spd makes the truck. The 4.7L is great, but bolt that 5spd to any V-8 Dodge offers, and I'm having fun!! For under $16K, its tough to beat, bang for the buck. And for $750 +/- for parts/tires, it'll run low 14's.

TRADE IN THE RANGER! You will not be dissappointed horsepower & speed wise. In my opinion, the Ranger is a better built truck, better riding, and better overall finish, but you will spend way too much $$ trying to make it as fast. Its not a huge difference, but little things make the diff.

Hey I just bought a brandy new 4.7 loaded to the gills with options. Even with the 4x4, skid plate package, Big mud tires, and the extracab this is what I have managed beat at stoplights: a newer Jetta, newer Tacoma V6, New F150 w/triton V8 2wd. I wanted to get the 5.9 but only the 2wd or the 4door 4x4 club cab has it. I love the mud, so I got the lesser 4.7 and I have no regrets. At first I was looking at the rangers with their off road packages, then I discovered this bad ass Dakota and I'm so glad I didn't get the ranger. For the money Dakota is the best your going to get!
