I'd like to see some quarter mile times with the last modification... hehe
I'm going to "drag" that down to Buffalo day after tomorrow.

I took it out for a little shake down cruise. Third pulls a grade like a diesel. (well almost) That 3.98 FDR in 3rd really gets down and tugs.

4th even holds the speed/RPMs on a moderate grade @ 65 MPH/2250 RPM.

Do you have the Nivo's on your ride??.
The Nivos are tires?

I haven't worn the Michelins out yet. Why would I replace the tires?

lol nice

i see you have the big dodge. but i guess if you can pull the trailer with the charger. its more fun to drive the charger around after you park the camper
The Power Wagon is a truck, not made for traveling. @ least not for more than 2 or 3 people.

You'll definitely win best ET in your class--You need to paint the trailer GOMANGO to match the car.

Hey I'm going for 20s @ 60 MPH.

Ypu would be surprized how this thing pulls.

My son's friend was in the car when we took the initial "shake down cruise". He remarked that it pulls better than some pick ups.

W/3.98:1 FDR in 3rd it damn well would out pull most 1/2 tons.

It flat "books" W/that 3500# trailer in 3rd. It does OK in 4th if you keep the revs about 2250 or more.

I even pulled a bit of a grade, about 1/2 mile in 4th. It held the RPM/MPH just fine, even accelerated a few MPH W/O much throttle input.

now you've got the hitch, you need a set of these, hahahaha, although I'm sure the wife would not approve!

I saw these the other days and found it difficult to decide whether to laugh or feel repulsed.

Sorry for the cumfusion, nivomat shocks, self leveling and such. Just wondered, I noticed your rear squatting just a little and wondered how they handled the load once they pumped back up to the stock ride height.

So thats the top secret performance mod huh?More weight in the rear for traction?
Well actually the weight distributing hitch acts as a wheelie bar too.

Oh yeah the Nivo shocks! Yes that is one of the reasons I got a Daytona. The R&T R/Ts and Daytonas have the same Nivos as the tow package Magnums. I started out looking for one of those but the only one I found was over $41 large.

Only other difference is cooling, but with my Jim Turner fan mod W/my dual fan control option I have that covered too.

Actually the back end only went down 1/4" more than the front. I set the load equalizer up that way. I think the "squat" is due to the driveway not being level.

Nope, I welded an old pair of clamp on street skates to the spring bar.
