for sale? nope, no good. 14.5 - 14.1 huh? damn that is depressing considering the bones i have dropped on this project. the ecsb is a whale, but it is a shocker to the non-believers. they'll move for what they are, and i have all these parts just chillen at the house. cant wait to get home and really go hunting, my brothers dakota is gonna be hurtin. i was really hoping to crack into the 13s. so now what... nitrous?

i will say 14.5, but i hope you do better. the 99-02 just don't perform like the 03 and up do with same mods.

depends on weather. if its anywhere above 80 degrees then you will run about 14.3-14.5. if its around 65 then i would say 14.1. but we'll just have to see!

well, that tall of a tire with the 275/55's i would go with the 4.10's. that's almost a 32" tire. i'm running the 275/45's that are 29.75" tall. on the interstate i drive 70 to 75 on trips. that's turning 2400 to 2500 rpms. getting 20mpg. of course i have a rcsb though.

I believe bluecajun was talking about a 275/ 55/ 20 equalling out to right at 32". 31.9" actually. The 20's will rob you of about .5 of a sec. in the 1/4 mi.
So I could actually run in the 13's with the right tire & wheel combo.
