Yeah for sure ^
And one of the main reasons the r/t is slow so is because of the transmission. The 46re put in those is HORENDOUS. It soaks up 25% of the power. Most dyno below 200 to the wheels. If they put a 5 speed in them, they would be a quick little truck with a little work. But the that transmission is horrible.

Mine ran 15.9 over and over again. They handle really well, and I guess a 15.9 run was decent for a truck back in 98, but mine was an 03 and at that point a 15.9 was ridiculous imo. Mine wouldn't even do a brake assisted burnout. I finally put a CAI on it and believe it or not, for about 1 hour it suddenly would spin the tires just from stomping it. After that 1 glorious hour, it went back to being a dawg. After doing some checking around, I found out that the PCM on them would compensate and screw you out of any gains you may achieve thru mods. I met a guy at the track with one, except he had an M1 intake, CAI, headers, DRs, and maybe some other stuff, but no tune. He was running a 15.0. You have to tune those R/Ts along with the mods from what I've seen. Good run, OP.

bah, it was sarcasm on my part.... when I saw a lot of them doing high 13's with that big of a dat' der' mopar V-10 in them I just sort of laughed
just going by what I personally saw at the track... not sure if that is the norm for them though
