Status: offline first off, get rid of that air cleaner. it is sitting right above the exhaust manifolds and it is sucking in nothing but hot air, which is bad. as for off the line starts the only thing that will get the truck up and humping is a gear swap. mine was 1600.00 for a complete 4x4 swap. had the 4.10 gears put in. just recently installed was my zex wet nitrous system, you should go for that power when you need it. also the jet stage 2 chip works well in the 4.7 along with the 180 thermostat. i have endless mods done to my truck, alot money also but what can you do. _____________________________ thats right, i did it so what, cry two tears in a bucket, @#$% it, lets take it to the stage 13.7 / 101.3 in the 1/4 mile (in reply to drivelineman) Post #: 4

THere is NO cold air going into your intake at all...   I also have the flowmaster 40. and i love mine.  maybe some headers? idk if they have any for our truck... everybody says the fastman TB is awesome. I dont know for myself tho. and the t-stat _____________________________ 06' Dakota crew cab SLT V8 4x4 crew cab tinted windows Flowmaster exhaust. CAI, Billit Grill Access tonneau cover Whats next?

I just put in an electric fan from flex-a-lite and WOW! Helped mpgs on tons as well as plenty more power and throttle response, particularly on the highway in passing and hill situations.

RE: 07 dodge dakota i need better performance - 5/6/2008 9:55:50 PM    flyboy1304   Posts: 254 Joined: 6/18/2007 Status: offline our trucks dont have Mass airflow sensors, i cant remember what its called i'm sure frenchy knows, or superdak... hot air still rises.. and besides its not a CAI anyways. a true cold air intake puts the intake near the tire where it catches cold air. but your more likely to get hydrolock. all of our intakes are short ram intakes. hood or no hood a better CAI would help you out. i believe jet has a website. try auto anything.... http://www.autoanything.com/performance-chips/chrysler_dodge_jet_chips.aspx hope this helps _____________________________ 06' Dakota crew cab SLT V8 4x4 crew cab tinted windows Flowmaster exhaust.
