Gregsdart there is a member on here that has a 94 Dodge Dakota with a Setup like what you are asking. He has it for sell in the race car for sell section if you wanted to read about it. I think he said it ran hi 9 in the 1/4 and drove it around every wear. Also this is not a for sell post.

up Hi, yes, that's me...lol yeah my set up is fairly simple, stroked 5.2 (388) partial filled stock block billet caps, arp studs, 9.1 compression with mildly ported Eddy heads, shifts at 6000 runs easy 10s on pump gas, the 9.97 was with a mix of race gas, its a handful/blast to drive on the street. First turbo powered car I've ever owned and I'm sold, may not ever go back to BB, currently building a 67 Dart that will also be turbo small block. up

You have a very nice truck. I am building a 96 SB Dakota to race with. Next year I am thinks about building a FI magnum 360 with a turbo. Going to put the truck on the street. Lol I would love to drive it on the street and click off some nine at the track

Polyspheric, Very true statement. Its funny that a simple statement will put a burr under someone's saddle. The sad thing is most of this countrys Church's fit your statement. They don't want to hear the Truth. They want the warm and fuzzy words.

Thanks, it has been an extreme learning experience switching from NA BBs to this set up, I have to admit to being influenced by a friend who is a turbo import racer...although...he's quite impressed with the little Dakota grin

I'll be at the Stanton race at the end of the month. Good or bad...I'll be happy to come back and share the weekend logbook.

I'm not worried about the car, it's the rusty driver that is more likely going to be the issue! Lol
