I've never been impressed with Kenne Bells project vehicles. Always underpowered for the parts put into them. I still have some old Truckin magazines with Kenne Bell blown Chevy pickups going 15.90s, and that Kenne Bell blown 360 powered Super Stealth Durango that rans 16s. And it's not just the poor track time, the power numbers were comical too. Never really understood that, the blowers were plenty capable of making tons more power.

Would be nice without that GAY lords cover...

I do like the look of the new dodges though. I used to have a 96 Indy pace truck that was blue with white stripes. That is cool truck.

With the new 6psi blower, the Dodge Ram cuts 0-60mph times by over 2sec. and now covers the 1/4mi. in15.9sec. at 91mph
Won't the 5.9L dakota do that?

What a Great Example of Everything Gone Wrong.

Reminds me of what a Yugo Truck would have been.

lol

lol see thats where dodge is gonna die, in the weight dept. My dodge lovin buddy at my work were having the Lightning VS SRT-10 debate for the million'th time. Look at that truck, 15.9 1/4 time. You can get a stock 5.4 n/a to come close to that speed.

Its just dumb, and i still belive the SRT-10 is gonna flop in the 1/4 zone. More weight little more power, and WAYYYYY more $$$ to mod, as well as you won't get ANYWHERE NEAR the power jumps from the mods as we do, thats why ford is smarter. John Coletti understands the aftermarket and builds the vehicles to work with them. He's not a number cruncher he's a car guy.

Wait for that dodge POS we will see, the extra $10,000 will make way for ALOT of mods for an L

Maybe they could get better times with more than a 2" sidewall......

And for what it would probably cost.........you could buy a Lightning that is oh,.......only about 6 seconds faster in the 1/4.

Don't forget the Killer Bee Dakota, lots of boost and slower times then a stock L. At least, IMO, that one looked nice.
