Dodge Dakota R/T vs RAM 1500 & Everyone at Drag Strip

[@guylongley1573]

Looked like a lot of fun. Hellcat swap differently will wake it up. Take it back but don't open the hood until after a couple of runs.😁

[@joshuathompson7845]

Great to see the max out on that motor. Will be cool to compare after the swap.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah I’m ready. Time to have some fun and be competitive

[@Sickksidex3]

Bad ass. Them Homies with them 3rd gens are crazy lol. Can't wait to see the Hellcat Dakota. Also I have a 3rd gen Hemi so it would be nice to bring them along and share some info.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah they aren’t messing around!!

[@ManuelFlores-uq3bh]

Dude in the gray is what you call a real friend.

[@360VRStudios]

Next set is Hell Cat!! Beyond that, Helelphant!!!!!

[@peep39]

It is not clear to me what your technique is, but you should be stalling the converter and foot braking to get a harder launch. As a general rule shorter back tires also help a little

[@chrisparra7630]

Few days ago i picked up a complete cervini sniper body kit with the spintec exhaust on offer up cant wait to have it installed

I can smell the rubber from here. 🏎

Trying to find me rt dakota.. hard to find

[@josemedina4814]

How much for the 5.9 motor? And transmission

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

That 64 Plymouth most likely has a 413 with the Cross Ram or a 440

[@bn5155]

Less motor work, street tires, my rc 99 ran 1.6 60’ times and 8.7. The 3.55 gears are what you need, then drop a Procharger for the ultimate fun Dakota!

[@michaelrhinehart7638]

Not a LA BLOCK lol..I still enjoy your videos..

[@kevin61906]

Yea definitely not an LA, distributor is in the front. I would lean more toward 426 max wedge

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Haha yeah I’m not an expert at the older stuff all I know is with that exhaust port configuration it had some monster runners on it compared to the dinky ones your limited to on the magnum

[@erikturner5073]

There's nothing wrong with the 5.9, you just have a basic build. The are people making big power with the 5.9. A small stall converter and 125 nitrous shot would REALLY make a difference in your case. The 5.9 can compete. Although with what you have it's unfair somewhat to compare your present 5.9 with what your friends have. Anyway good video.

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome Jon《☆》Nice day at the track. Man all the work Y'all did to the 5.9 I would have expected low 8s in the 8th mile. HEMI time 😎👍🏾:*: Greetings from⛾Florida🤳my friend🤓🎱☮🔊✌👍🏾

Great runs! Any advice for a beginner to tune up stock engine

My buddy has a 1998 procharged heads and cam .. ported Hughes keg intake . 727 with stall .. headers .. cam . B&G Tune .. Cold air kit .. Bogarts in the 10s

[@Ar2041]

Why didn't you leave on the converter? Like load it up,it would've improve your 60 foot and brought down the time overall

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Great question. I’ve tried it that way also and it doesn’t seem to like it on the stock converter and this intake manifold. It bogs down like crazy. It worked well doing that on the kegger but on this m1 it falls on its face

[@pauluhl4598]

Oh crap idk yall are in cali!! Im a firefighter at irwindale and i have a 99 dakota rt that i wanna build up!! We should keep in touch!

You did about 500-600 bucks in runs, Awesome 👏🏽

[@robsmith3628]

That is equal to 14.2 in the quarter mile. I really would have guessed at that truck would have been faster. What size rear end gear are you running in that?

[@rtxrt73]

Man that will be super awesome once the hellcat innards are in there... Just don't forget to update the brakes . Those walls can suddenly appear out of no where 🤣🤣🤣

I wish I could find a guy that remodels these trucks and he just started out. I'm not a mechanic by any means but I would love for mine to be like these. I got a 3rd Gen and it's fun but the body ain't great

[@edwardstanley8375]

I did the same thing with my ford lightning left it in first after the burn out don’t notice till it’s red lining lol

[@LivinSharpGarage]

That stock 46re is what was hurting you. The stock gears in them are really tall unless you get one out of a 4x4 ram. And even then stock is not great. Definitely could have gotten that tuck deep in the 8s though. But That hellcat swap with the 8HP90 is gonna smash💪

Great video !! Should of put the tailgate down or took it off . Lol that would of increased your times , maybe in to the high 8’s .

[@hyperdukes7860]

I run a consistent 9:30-40 in an 02 grand cherokee 4.7

[@ImDoneKilling]

these older 5.9’s are a wet dog in the bottom end rpm but come to life around 3800rpm on up. dial back the base timing a smidge to bump up the low end rpm take off. or maybe install a msd box with launch control set to 3k rpms and she’ll fly

[@347mav3]

That thing needs a gear and converter. You wouldn't believe how much different it would be. Nice truck. It's got low 8's in it. Doesn't need power necessarily. Just need to optimize.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

I agree!!

[@Fritochiprt32221]

I used to run Nito 555r's on my 200 Dak R/T, they would hook like no other. I am sure they have better tires now though.

[@jesuscardona3039]

Swapping your Dakota it’s going cost u a lot of money and work brother. U would have to change your suspension and upgrades a lot of parts.. But I know u can do it. I have a 410 stroke I’m working on the twins next. Should make over 8++.

[@amermuscle]

What would it have ridden if it was a 1/4 . Anyway u can do the supercharger on the 5.9 before the swap. May help boost the channel.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Low 14s most likely. We are going to boost jason’s truck with the Procharger so we will still have that content for you guys 💪

[@daedranvanoras2000]

The thing that sucks about the truck in the race was the auto trans, gotta say if it were stick you probably would've gotten a better time

[@_S.G_]

Man I don't see how a CAI, TB, M1, Cam, Headers, Tune, and Slicks are only getting you a 9.1 E. T I've seen guys bust into the 8s with just exhaust, rockers, throttle body, and tuner
