UPDATE: I sold this and purchased a '93 Chevy Camaro Z28 (LT1). Check my main garage for the photos and info!

Real quick.. My name is Rick, and I work for a company called Quadratec (Jeep & 4x4 aftermarket parts place) in West Chester, Pa.

This is my 1992 Dodge Dakota Sport, short bed, 2wd. It has a "new" 5.9L 360 engine, installed 50,000 miles ago. New tranny, new driveline including rear, gears, etc., etc. It's got a LOT of work done under the hood. No, that's not some ricer talk for "I just think I have a fast car." If you'd like to see the truck first hand, I'll be at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pa (Near Reading, Berks County), Atco Raceway in NJ and Cecil County Dragway in Maryland. I live in Collegeville, Pa, so you can also find me around town, or back near my old area (Huntingdon Valley). I sent a time slip into Cardomain, have been waiting for them to confirm it... Time/MPH on left.

Dyno runs... power is to the wheels obviously:

No spray 6/25:
Horsepower: 206.1 @ 4250
Torque: 292.3 @ 4000

On spray (75 shot) 6/25:
Horsepower: 285.6 @ 4000
Torque: 372.4 @ 4000

On spray (100 shot) 7/26:
Horsepower: 307.3 @ 4000
Torque: 390.8 @ 4000

On spray (150 shot) 8/15:
Horsepower: 355.2 @ 4250
Torque: 449.4 @ 4000

10/25/05: Blew up the trans after racing at Cecil County, MD. New trans has since been installed.

Non engine mods:

-American Racing 15x7" Nepute Rims with Yokohama Avid S/T 255/60-R15 rears and 235/60-R15 fronts
-3.91 suregrip rear
-Kyb gas adjust shocks
-Belltech 3/4 lowering kit
-SSBC "Short Stop" Slotted Rotors w/ High Performance Pads
-ETC!

SOME engine mods are listed on Page 2.

Currently it has some Pioneer speakers, a JVC motorized face CD/MP3/CD-R, etc head unit, a Rockford Fosgate amp and a JL sub (pics on page 3). So give me a little to get a nice system together. I am more concerned with the performance aspect, but still want a nice system.

Here are some pics. It has a functional '70 Dart Swinger ram air hood, as well as a few other little mods that I can't list ;-) I removed the Magnum R/T Mopar Performance stickers, as well as the V8 decal. Mopar Performance R/T rims have been ordered and will be here the 1st week in November!

5/07/05 after a night at Maple Grove (275/60-R15 BFG g-Force "Comp" T/A Drag Radials on new 15x8 6 on 4.5 w/ 5" backspacing American Racing 757 rims). Note: These are JUST on for track days/nights. I don't run around with 2 sets of rims during normal road use. I am probably ordering a new set of 5 spoke black rims when I get new tires.

This Dakota is my daily driver. The stock Computer runs from the first snow until late April. From April until the first snow, I run a Mopar Performance Computer.

I also have a fun toy, which has been my daily driver during its buildup, for over a year now. It's a 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ with a 4" BDS crap lift (The 4" Rubicon Express Standard Duty Lift will be here within 10 days!!!), 33x12.50.x15" Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers and tons of custom mods, accessories, etc. For pics of that, please visit my other Cardomain page (Which remains a LITTLE out of date): Just Click Here!
