Low 13's out of a 318 isn't to bad...I hope to have my truck somewhere in the 13's soon. 12's would be badass, but I think I need a cam setup before I can hit that.
'99 Dakota 3.9L here, been running great since day 1, very few problems... Most troublesome thing so far was a shot waterpump... Recently. I fixed it the next day, and it's even running cooler than it ever did... I guess that pump had been on its way out for a while.
I have two dodge dakotas the first is a 1996 dodge dakota v8 4x45 speed manuel obm2....and its FACTORY paint job is olive metalic green...the only one that was painted factory olice metalic green that I have ever seen. the other is a 94 2wd v8..1971 hemi orange T/A Dakota. there such a cool trucks dakotas...only the olders ones 2000 n down the new ones are SO ugly...like 2009's are gross.
Runs good with that 318 in it. My 96 Dodge Ram (Indy) ran a best of 12.91 with my old setup(see my channel). Thats was very mild 360 w/7psi. Now beefy 408 & look to make 8-9psi. Expect to see 11.0s or better with the new setup.
This is a class act from paint, chassi & the way it runs. The aluminum work inside screams class. The video was awesome Way to go Bad bird. Like to see a write up in a magzine. Mike

the first truck looks like a full size ram collided with a 70 challenger and this truck is what turned out.
