I was wondering, naw call it pondering if I would be able to keep up with or possibly beat a 1997 sst ram in 1/4 drag race. Who out there thinks I could or could tell me if it would be close.It is a total stock sst, I have a 2001 4.7 regular cab automatic w/3.55 rearend.My only mod is flowmaster 40 series exhaust.

You would take him so bad those trucks are pretty slow. I have driven 2 of them and my 4x4 5.2 would take them stock. SST all show no go.

It's amazing what a little bit of TLC makes those SSTs's do.
Raced one a couple weeks back at the track. It was running 15.30s all day long. Headers, exhause, air intake and computer chip. That's it.

Your wrong about your 4x4 beating an SS/T because I use to own one and raced my brother-in-law who had a 4x4 5.2 with manual and I beat him. But I do think the 4.7 has more takeoff but the 5.9 will catch em later.

Is the 5.9 in the SST the same as the 5.9 in the R/T? If it's exactly the same, then the 5.9 in a larger truck would be slower than the R/T, and seeing as my 4.7 whoops every R/T I've ever seen at the track then....... the 4.7 would absolutely kill the SST.
My 4.7 5 speed 3.55 ran 15.2 stock, so if an SST w/ mods is barely in the 14s, stock for stock the 4.7 would easily win.

my 99 rt rc ran a 15.2 in the quarter easing it from the line due to tire spin, so I believe that would make it quicker than a 4.7 rc dakota. Not to sound like I'm puting 4.7s down though. You only need to spend about 3000 dollars to produce a very potent 5.9 to be reckoned with by brand "x"

When will you 4.7 people grow up. Without your 5 speed your gutless. I worked for Chrysler for 3 years I raced Rams Daks Grand Cherokees, We used to race around the lot every damn day. The 5.9 SMOKES the 4.7 why do you think the 99 Gand Cherokees and newer are slower than the 98 with a 5.9. I have proven this time and time again. And the thing about the 5.9 is that you get by far more results when opening up the intake and exhaust. After that its a runaway in comparison the 5.9 is a significantly FASTER Motor End of story. A new Jeep Grand Cherrkee has to be a HO 4.7 to beat the 5.9 but after new (volant) intake, and Chip, the 5.9 SMOKES THAT TOO. Your 4.7 isnt a race motor its an economy V-8 for very light duty truck/jeep applications. The 5.9 has much more potential and can handle stress significantly easier. At least the new HEMI shuts 4.7 people up at the drop of the hat. A well breathing SS-T will beat a 4.7 Reg Cab Dak.

Does the SST have the same runing gear as an R/T??
Same engine (5.9), same trans (auto)?
R/Ts have a 3.90?? Rear end, right? Same for an SST?

the only sure-shot way to solve this whole 4.7 vs. 5.9 crap is discontinue the 4.7 and bring back the 5.2...then you got all the old school mixed with a new 5.7 with old school design...PROBLEM SOLVED...

Hey pill-head, you must have overdosed on to many stupid pills. R/T's beating 4.7's are probably possibe if a retard like you was driving the 4.7. Im sure that some R/Ts can beat a 4.7(with a bad driver) but the bottom line is that I never seen or heard of a stock R/T(without slicks) running a 14.7 in the quarter mile. My brothers 4.7 RC 5-speed 3.92 ran a 14.7 in the quarter mile. All he has on his truck is lakewood traction bars. By the way pill-head do you own a R/T, are or you dreaming about owning one whenever you sit in them at the car lot.

How can you say the 5.9 is better in the long run. I raced a 5.9 r/t with my 4.7 both RC up to 95 and was ahead by a 1/2 a truck length. Both trucks were stock.

The 4.7 bottom end resembles a race engine MUCH more closely than that of a 5.9. It's known to be sturdy under 600 hp. Really about the same as the 5.9, and not less. It's really beefed up, and maybe a 5.9 auto will beat a 4.7 auto, but you can't get one unless you do it yourself. I'ts nice to have a semi-econo v-8 that will pull on older Fox-body mustangs on the interstate and run right next to the new ones from 0-125 or so. That's all with the 5 speed of course, but who likes automatics anyway? All I have is straight pipes behind the 3rd cat, cold air intake with a custom cold air box, tb spacer, and IAT relocated and adjustable. I have the 3:55 Trac-Lok with 295/50/16 to make it more like a 3:73 or so, and that works REALLY well with the 5 spd. I might go with 3:73's or 92's later, but the 55's are working fine so far. No 1/4 times yet cuz for 1 there's only an 1/8th and 1000' closeby which I have yet to go to, but plan to soon. Maybe tomorrow night in LR I'll run the 1/8th just to get an idea and to post some numbers. Out

Yeah, the 360 is one bad ass engine. Always has been. If I ever build up another old Dodge, it will most likely be another 360.
But I got the 4.7 in my new dak, so I'm all for bringing this new beast alive. I took the truck in for it's first service and asked what they thought about me doing a cat back (I allready did the Flowmaster) or a home brewed intake. They said it would just void the exhaust and intake from the waranty coverage, but everything else would still be covered. They said they even sold "cold air" intakes there. I saw the K&N filters in there as well.
It's nice to get a dealer who doesn't throw a fit about mods to a new truck.

I know of one particular 4.7 that's running 12.2's @ 116 and it's turbocharged. And when the driver behaves, it gets 20 mpg. Now what about the all-motor 5.9 that runs 12.2's??
Oh and the SUPERCHARGED 4.7 that I know of is running 13.3's and the supercharger is his only modification besides dual exhaust.
So, who's got potential now?

I think everything has potential. I mean, if you get down and dirty IT will have potential. You know that turbo 4.7 has basically no bolt ons... just all custom made stuff that someone had the know how, the money, the motivation, and plain and simply THE BALLS to do it. I mean he has a custom turbo setup he made all the way to custom fuel rail coolers. BRILLIANT!
Hell, even the 3.9 has potential... the 2.4 obviously has potential... 13.99's show room new? I have run a best of 13.52 with a measly 3.9 auto 3.55 peg legger. Now what do they run stock??? 17.5???
geez guys... the 5.9 has its glory and the 4.7 is just starting to get his. Saying that one is better than the other is just personal preference/choice.
