2000 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Paxton Blown

[01GeorgiaDakota]

I have a 2001 dodge dakota 4.7, im choosing between a supercharger, and nitrous. I would just like to know who built the motor in your truck if you dont mind me asking

[mfuji02]

how much hp? :/

[sox288]

could my dakota sound like this if I get some longtubes headers? I have a 4.7 with gibson dual exhaust and a K&N cia

[426brandon]

MOPAR!

[tomcopp1]

can you do anything to the 05 jeep g cherokee 4.7

[Mellowbuzz1974]

@tomcopp1 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the same 4.7 in it as the dakota, except the Jeep came with HO cams if im not mistaken

[fordboy111591]

@Mellowbuzz1974 not all jeeps did only the jeeps that was 4x4 thats what i have heard but idk the differnce  id go with a cam swap in my 4.7 if i coulf find some that would actually make a difference

[Mellowbuzz1974]

@fordboy111591 I've researched it quite a bit. you can expect some pretty moderate gains with the HO cams (assuming you are going to do TB, intake, and a programmer at the same time). I would personally go up a notch and get the 212's though. If you're gonna do it...do it right the first time lol

[fordboy111591]

@Mellowbuzz1974 ive got a so far all cats chppd off and 3'' exhaustinto a flowmaster super44 and those expensive ass 4.11 gears those helps alot and i had a superchips power pack but i couldnt tell a differnce with it and i got a dual k&n cai gettn ita air from behind the front bumped i want to do a turbo or sc on it but i dont want to have to build up the motor just yet i want to get a nother motor and build it so my daily driver aint tore apart all over my front yard lol

[carfreak59750]

5 speed i am guessing? and that things a beast love it roasts the tires through the gears

[ChevelleSSLS6]

YAY! someone has a 'beyond bolt ons' 4.7

Supposedly this was to be the AMC-gen 3 v8.

[superduck714]

damn, that back end is almost to the ground from all tha torque!!! Damn.

[BlownDakota]

chris19740113 is right about the space it is useless

also i know you wasnt going 35 in that vid either,lol

nice truck love to run you sometime

[smackmeat]

I don't know if you already have one but, I stuck a powertrax no-slip locker in my 04 dakota 4.7L since it was open diff. Took me an hour to do and it works great. can't say you wont still light the tires up though.

[54spiritedwill54]

Beautiful! I need one now.

[iamsuperbleeder]

hey you're speeding...

[tfcsmokeeater8]

hey your gay!...

Nice Dodge by the way:]I wonder what a 318(5.2L) would do if it was "Paxton Blown"

[bigmike97dak]

the 5.2 versus the 4.7 is highly discussed on the dakota forum. but i drive a 5.2 and to be honest dont feel its so hot of a motor. i love it cause its fast and reliable but more power i believe will come from the 4.7 whats your view>>>

[BlownDakota]

you will getmore power out of a 318 then a 286ci its only becuse you can get more bolt on and its cheaper to maintain an engine that is based on old tech then a sohc motor. one broken timing chain and both heads are shrapnel. but dont get me wrong i love the MPG of the 4.7 and the quick throttal responce from it. stock to stock the 4.7 stomped my 5.9 lol. but i fixed that problem.

[bigmike97dak]

Ill swap a 5.7 hemi or a 6.1 in the future

[SRTKOTA]

Have I ran into any problems? Yes.. Fried the pistons a couple of times and sent a rod through the block. I'd definitely recommend if you plan on putting more than 7psi on the 4.7, building the motor to stand up to the abuse. I did put about 25000 trouble free miles on at 10psi.

I have a stock NV3500HD in the truck with fresh gears and input shaft. There's a new Centerforce dual-friction clutch in it too. It will be the weak link over time.

[Rustykoda]

Hey man im thinkin about gettin a custom procharger setup for my 2000 4.7 have you ran into any problems with having a blower in general besides the tickets. sweet truck by the way.

[jay600katana]

Nice ride, I got a stock 2000 short cab and box 4.7, 5 spd. R u still using the NV 3500?

[tank200926]

thanks if i can get the money i'll try that

[dakman318]

Before you go buying useless parts...DON'T buy ANY throttle body spacer, they are totally useless for your engine. Also, DON'T purchase the jet chip, alot of people that have purchased it have found that the stock computer "learns" to bypass the programming and make it useless-however, alot of folks continue to be pleased with superchips. Headers are a good idea, but I wouldn't wrap them. I had a set rust through in less than a year after I had wrapped them.

[dakman318]

Instead of buying a 50MM TB, you can easily modify yours to make it flow much better. Instrucions may be found online. If you buy a high quality drop-in replacement air filter (K&N, ARE, etc), you will get comparable results to the CAI for much less dough. Another, very easy and cheap mod is to purchase rocker arms from a Dodge Viper (92-02) and install them in your heads. They can be had for as little as $80 for 16. If you do this, use the pivots from YOUR engine, not the viper pivots.

[tank200926]

I have a 99 Dakota SLT with the 5.2 318 i put a straight pipe and have a K&N performance filter on it but its still only putting out about 250 HP does anyone have a logical way i could get 300 HP affordably

[amdrewm]

Get a full performance exhaust system with wrapped headers. The more air the engine can suck in the more it can push out.

[BlownDakota]

headers, intake manifold, CAI, stright pipe exhaust, 50MM TB, TB Spacer, under drive pullies and a jet chip easy over 300

[Chris19740113]

TB spacers are useless on a 4.7

[dadeereater]

any trans work? rear end gears?

[SRTKOTA]

1. The truck was on 275-60-15 BFG drag radials in the video... They are now 315's with CalTracs.. Slight spin then hook

2. The mpgs actually went up with the blower and exhaust mods only. This truck with those mods got 23mpg on the way to the track.

3. Is it worth it? Uh.. yeah :)

4. The truck has forged pistons, KRC224 cams, ported heads, Vortech FMU, KRC tuned PCM, HO Intake, Split Sec ARC1 for the MAP, forged connecting rods, etc... It doesn't get 23mpg anymore :)

[03dktart]

were u in third when u chirped at the last second if so that shit is sick. i plan on putting one on my 03 4.7 sometime in the future hopefully.

[bignick01dakota]

im definently putin a charger on my 4.7L mabey i can squez 400horse out of it along with other mods it would be the ownley one around where i live hell yea

[biglinc1]

one sweet 4.7L!

[Rustykoda]

Jason ill be getting a paxton here in a week how bad on your gas was it. is it worth 5 grand

[leebolinsky]

know if they make anything like that for the V6?

[JWAYNEGASC]

get a v8...

[zyle88]

uh... it is a V8 dude...

[JWAYNEGASC]

leebolinsky (1 month ago):know if they make anything like that for the V6?

Was referring to this guy's comment...I think I would know what my brother's truck is packin... ;-)

[zyle88]

Oh, okey dokey, Sorry.

[BlownDakota]

if your gonna S/C your V6 is it a 3.7 or a 3.9? 3.7 will have the same front as a 4.7 to bolt onto.

[bgoins12]

Uhh, always has been a SOHC 4.7, OHV is the 5.2 and 5.9.

[Chris19740113]

i have DOHC 4.7 on my 2003

[christregre]

congratufuckinglations...dumba­ss

[christregre]

*sorry i was talking to chris19740113

[DankCoon]

Hey dumbfuck, you only have SOHC. No 4.7 was ever made with DOHC. It only has 1 cam per bank of the engine. It has 2 have 2 cams per bank to be a DOHC

[94EglVisionTSI]

that is correct

[BlownDakota]

some ppl get those confused not all ppl know that a vehicle with two cams per head is a dohc. now if you wanna talk about pl mess with some hondas

[sehmbi111]

ummm. when did they come sohc??? its a single cam push rod motor....

[excelite]

I have an 01 with a Kenne Bell, I'm glad to see another blown 4.7 out there. Mine has traction bars and 4.10 gears and I never have any traction problems by the way.

[gabyjol]

shift third to quik

[thegooey]

Beautiful! I need one now. How much did it set you back? That's frickin' sweet.

[jride23]

sick truck I have a 2002 4x4 i am going to supercharge thanks for the inspiration

[mdoelle]

why a 4x4? save the souping up for a 2 wheeler! les weight.

[jride23]

because it is lifted 9 inches and could use the extra power and tourque and 36 inch tires really rob power

[mdoelle]

sweet ok that would be sweet.
