Was that a Express or RT? Did he take the RT emblem off?

 

If he Manuel shifts it might be closer. Most the guys running in Manuel mode are hitting 13.70-13.90 right now in good air.

 

I was wrong those are the RT rims

 

good run... glad to know that i have a chance with one now hehe. i need to bring my truck out next time i got see my parents they like just south of Amarillo bout 30 mins

 

If you are ever interested in a fun race down in Dallas/Fort Worth lets meet up sometime at Texas Raceway in Kennedale, Northstar Dragway north of Denton or Dallas Dragway in Crandell. Not sure exactly what you would run but you look like you would be a fun race in my Titan.

Those RT Rams are pretty slow in stock form but seem to respond ok to mods. I usually kill them pretty easily in my 2012 Nissan Titan. It runs 14.20s @ 95-96 mph in normal 2,000-2,400 DA. It ran a 13.98 @ 96.20 in 166 DA running into a light headwind a couple of weekends ago at Dallas Dragway. Pretty quick for a truck that comes from the factory with a 317 HP rating, weighs 5,350 lbs, rolls on 33" tall 20s, has an open differential with only an intake, high flow secondary cats, catback exhaust, and a Hypertech tuner. I will be adding long tube headers with equal length 1.75" primaries and 2.5" merge collectors and a single 3.5" exhaust system with a hooker aerochamber muffler soon. Also in the works is a TruTrac differential. Also plan to jump over to a set of Enkei ST6 18x8.5" wheels for the track that combined with a Nitto 555R drag radial in 305/45R18 size will be over 25 lbs lighter than my Nismo 20x9.5"/Goodyear RSA 275/60R20 wheel combination. I'll run an even narrower front tire of the same height that will weigh around the same weight. 100+ lbs of rotating mass being removed will certainly help. Also plan to toss on a set of drop springs to do a 2/3 drop.



The tan truck has headers, trutrac and Uprev custom tuning as well as an entire mandrel bent 2.5 to single 3" exhaust system and makes 300 RWHP/396RWTQ on a Mustang dyno. Mine was 296/377 in a 105*F shop on July 4th on a Mustang dyno without headers or the exhaust.

In stock form they run high 13's stock. Theres several on Ram RT owners group on Facebook that has 13.87ish slips that are fairly stock. FLowmaster muffler I think is all he had. The 22's kill performance. Lot of the guys that run need to learn that manuel shifting is a must, learn the tree and get it to hook. Ive never heard you say Ram RT's were slow over on NA Dodge.....hahaa

 

Actually I have and have on Dodgetalk.com as well. A bunch of low 15/high 14 second running Ram owners talked a bunch of crap. I have yet to see a new body style 13 second Ram in these parts. Hell the day I was out there a guy had his Diablo tuned 2009-2010 RCSB out at Dallas Dragway and was trying to break into the 13s. Best he ran, on drag radials, with a converter and I believe 4.56 gears was a 14.2 iirc. In the same conditions, same weather, same track I went 13.98 on street tires with an open differential.

My old quad cab with the tiny Sidewinder cam, running in the 10s air/fuel ratio ran 8.527 in the 1/8 with a slipping trans that died that same weekend.

 

Actually unless his carrier was modified there's no way he was running 4.56 gears in a 4th generation. So I'd check before I'd start posting about someone else's truck with times. A guy I've talked to personally has slips to back it, bone stock express with 3.55 ran a 14.2 last week at gateway. 90% of the time crappy times can be linked to traction and poor driving skills

 

I know and respect that you are a Mopar or no car kind of guy, but not all trucks are factory freaks. I have seen several of them that just didn't impress me. Such as the bonestock 2012 Express that couldn't break out of the 15s in 2500 da. Driving skill maybe part of it, but at the end of the day truck or driver I still ended up with a 13 second slip and this moded Hemi Ram did not. I know the guy had gears so to split hairs over ratio, really don't care, there is not that much difference in a 4.10 and 4.56 gear in a 2wd rcsb truck on 28" tall drag radials anyway.

 

I'm in the DFW im down to run in a 2011 6.2L Harley
