Addressing The Dakota RT's Airflow With An Exhaust Upgrade - Trucks! S3, E8 

I loved watching this on Saturday morning 20 years ago.

Funny enough, I just happened to be watching the first two videos of the dakota build when this released, lol

Should have kept the factory R/T wheels but it was the late 90's/early 2000's

Only 60hp gain? What a shame.. i was expecting at least 150hp

Stacey ,glad your back. You have built many desirable rods

GOOD SHOW YALL

That is sweet I love the horsepower

Do you have this for the v6 engine? full exhaust and rear bumper

Is that tonneau still manufactured? Would like to get for my R/T.

I have a 2001 dodge Dakota where can I get the rims like the ones on rolling thunder?

Wat size motor

Those stepside truck beds are great for running stacks up the sides 😊super cool 😎

255whp seems like nothing but that's just about what a stock Mustang gt made at the crank back then. Better tune, TB & kegger mods, shift kit, 4.10 gears with a locking diff and this truck would have been a problem.

Only 60 horse power gain , how much did it cost, I'm guessing over 3k

I put 5.9 magnum in my d150 with a mild cam, dual plane intake to swap it to carb, and longtubes and it made 253 at the wheels. They had to be running very low boost.

That's insane. 60hp with all those mods

That is all you got 60 more!!! I would have thought you'd get a little more!!

Wat the total horsepower on this

For the cost of that supercharger not worth the horsepower gain

I guess those wheels we’re this shit back in the day but I’d kept the rt 🛞

the 5.9 should have started around 245 hp stock. supercharged and an additional 60 hp should have been nearer 300 hp... Where'd it all go?

I went from Saturday Morning Cartoons to Saturday/Sunday Morning Horsepower/PowerBlock/PowerNation. To damn bad The CW was to stupid to continue but kept Bar Rescue.

Still need a tune for a supercharger and other things

I'm glad I don't have to watch Mel Fair anymore. Notice, he never has dirty hands

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Only thing that bothered me was the use of silicone in the exhaust. As silicone will burn when exposed to high temperatures. When this happens, it produces a gas that coats the surface of the O2 sensor and causes incorrect oxygen readings. This is called outgassing. The ECU, in turn, will adjust tuning based upon what the O2 sensor is telling it. Yeah science!

What ever happens to these build?

No tuner to adjust A/F or timing and they used the stock Y-pipe to cat (2.5”) that choked the engine big time. Should have been around 280-300 RWHP, which would 330-350 hp at the crank. Not bad numbers for all stock internals for late 90s, early 2000 truck. Add a mild cam, Edelbrock heads, 3” Y-pipe and M1 intake and your looking at 475 hp at the crank.

Here's a video of Boosted MotorSports Hellcat Swap Dodge Dakota called the Hellkotaru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oxRqqvc4Ol4.html

$500? Today that would be at least 10x that. Probably a lot more.

pretty sure all the parts in this video are not available anymore.

All that displacement, a supercharger, those supporting mods, and only 260? That’s entry-level V6 family SUV territory nowadays. I’m not impressed…

This is not going to be the popular opinion but I’ve got an rt 5.9 with a 3 inch lift and 33 inch tires and looking how to get better fuel mileage😂

Even back then that engine should have picked up more than 60 horsepower with the supercharger alone. I'm sure that thing really needs our computer tune also

950 HP on the strip back then nowadays there's people driving down the street in cars that have 1000 HP

255 horsepower..all that? 255 horsepower?

Just over 250 hp. Nowadays you can get 500 from a 345 CI motor.

Too bad NHRA killed pro stock truck

The best way to get hp out of a Dodge is to buy a Chevy.

That mel guy is awful looks like a parts salesman glad he got off tv
