With those mods in your signature, you're only at 219 rwhp and high 14's?

[EDIT] Nevermind, saw the disclaimer next to the time saying it was only with K&N FIPK.

I would venture to say he'd be mid 15's with some awesome bangin on the sloppy shifter.

I like to stall up to 3,500rpm and feather the clutch on launch. On street tires I'm thinking about 2,500rpm or so and feathering the clutch until he feels it bite. Should be good for 2.1-2 or so 60ft'er on the street tire, and a 1.9 on the Stickies.

Well each truck is a little different as mentioned many times above mid 15's for CC's and low 15's or high 14's for RC's.
Every truck is a little different!

Hey guys, just joined today. I have a 99 R/T cc. My buddy, a mechanic, installed an electronic shift kit in his boss's 96 Chevy 4x4 that he said would snap your neck and was so easy to install that he spent more time finding a place to run the wires than hooking it up. It has a switch for off, soft, and hard. I've been looking for this kit for my Dakota, but the company doesn't make it. I've installed shift kits before, including one in my 93 v8 S15, but I don't want another B&M type that requires removing the valve body. I like the idea of being able to turn it off if I don't feel like having my head bounced off the back window early in the morning...or when the cops are around! Anybody familiar with this kit? I'm also restoring a 64 Polara with 426 wedge 4-spd.Thanks
