I have owned a 94 ss-10 for 11years < i don't
even know what the taillites on a slowkata looks
like. The front i do cause thats all i see in the rear view. any body out there knows that a 210 hp,
2900lb truck will blow away any slowkota(exceptrt360)i have done very little to this truck
1. full"l port and pol (done by me)
2.1/2 " fuel lines and I made ss lines inside the
intake to cure problem with plastic lines that leak.
3.elderblock headers
4. covette servo
5.3.92 rear end
6.special burn chip
7.2 1/2" exhaust
8.k&n high flow filter (removed old air box and assly)
9.ford tarus fans
10.b&m torque converter
11.hochkens rear susp complete witn neo bushings
(the best thing i ever done to truck cause it hooks up hard now)
12. lower 3" in front &4" in back
I have time slips from track. My best yet was 13.85s. Not to slow for a truck thats not grossly moded. Any of you slowkotas want to run(at track only ha ha ) I'll eat you alive
PS i hate gettin slowkota parts out of my intake.
remember Dodge was call dodge cause thats what they do "Dodge along"

Damn. HE dug up an OLD thread didn't he?
When my 4X4 4.7 was brand new bone stock I had a hard time against a 5 speed 4.3 once. But I squeeked my him. I had beaten others more easily, so I always assumed that one tougher one was moddified.
13's would be quite a few mods for a 4.3 auto
Although you can't argue the reliablity of the 4.3 is pretty good. But a V8 is funner, and sounds way better. That's why I always stick to V8's even if you CAN mod a V6. A V8 just sounds the best and can always be built up all the more.

ok well... dakotas are not built for racing. if they do lose to s-10's, its the same reason a 360 ram 2500 4x4 loses... the damn thing is built and designed for towing, and hauling. even a R/T is to god damn heavy. if dak's weighed in at 2900lbs, they would destroy s-10s obviously. but they are designed for towing. plain and simple. hook a s-10 up to a 6000lbs travel trailer, or hook bumpers... i would lmfao!

Hell, my last vehicle was a 93 Jimmy 4x4 with the afformentioned 4.3 Vortec. That thing had been rode hard and put away wet MANY times before I got it and it still ran pretty well. Looked at S-10's in the 2000+ models and I couldn't get over how slow they still were with modest mods and even a couple with gears.
Went with my Dak and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! Milage with my truck is only ~2 points lower than the Jimmy, and I drove it like a granny.
Go stroke yourself somewhere else cause you are in the wrong forum to look for S-10 supporters.

I have a 2000 dakota r/t with only exhaust,intake and superchips tuner. I am allways getting challenged by teenagers at stoplights in there s-10 extremes.
I never just punch it off the green light, I allways wait till there about 4 car lenghts ahead then I go for it and floor it, allways pass right by them. There annoying to say the least but I have never had any trouble passing them.They should have had a v8 option for those "looks fast but slow , extremes"
