- Since Project Rolling Thunder already has a performance suspension and go-fast goodies under the hood, it's time for a full exhaust install as well as some graphics on the outside. Then, it's on to the drag strip before the guys give you some tips on finding your next project.

I loved watching this on Saturday morning 20 years ago.
Me too brother!
The good ol days.😔
me too, with my son. good times
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
throw a cam in it or intake... would have been more "expecting"
No tune or intercooler. I bet this superchanger kit only put out 5psi of boost.
It's possible to gain 150+hp to the wheels without boost. The heads and intake are really restrictive on the magnums.
Stacey ,glad your back. You have built many desirable rods
GOOD SHOW YALL
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!
That is sweet I love the horsepower
For the cost of that supercharger not worth the horsepower gain
This was back in 2000 and only 5psi of boost
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.
Yeah I bet with a tune it would be like 350hp at least but they didn't even tune it
@@nathanlebaron5867 intercooler, bigger injectors/fuel pump and a aggressive tune and you could easily hit those numbers. That SC will probably be maxed out though.
@@nathanlebaron5867 I doubt it. Good heads, intake manifold, cam and tune would make it close to 350hp.
Do you have this for the v6 engine? full exhaust and rear bumper
That's insane. 60hp with all those mods
I guess those wheels we’re this shit back in the day but I’d kept the rt 🛞
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.
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.
Honestly big mistakes keeping factory cat and not a high flow
All that displacement, a supercharger, those supporting mods, and only 260? That’s entry-level V6 family SUV territory nowadays. I’m not impressed…
Same thought here
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.
That is all you got 60 more!!! I would have thought you'd get a little more!!
Is that tonneau still manufactured? Would like to get for my R/T.
I'm glad I don't have to watch Mel Fair anymore. Notice, he never has dirty hands
Still need a tune for a supercharger and other things
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Only 60 horse power gain , how much did it cost, I'm guessing over 3k
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
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?
It doesn't have a tune in it and there using the stock ecu it's a surprise it even picked up power and also no cam, and I bet that thing isn't pushing more than 5psi
245 is crank horsepower,dyno measures power at the wheels.
245 crank equaled around 193whp from what I remember them saying.
Wat size motor
I have a 2001 dodge Dakota where can I get the rims like the ones on rolling thunder?
i see them all the time on dakotas and durangos in the self service wrecking yards.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wat the total horsepower on this
$500? Today that would be at least 10x that. Probably a lot more.
Yeah like there budget be so unrealistic
Nah, dakota parts are still surprisingly cheap. I did a custom cat-back with a magnaflow muffler on my 03 3.9L, JBA headers, a factory cat replacement, and a turndown under the bed for less than $1500. Sounds mean, and accelerates a much smoother. $500-1000 wouldn't have been too hard in the early 2000s, and options would have probably been better.
@@oxidizedolive That could be true it's really just showing you how good times were back in the day before covid and all the bullshit.
@@oxidizedolive I was talking about the Chevy. No one is building a 2000s Dakota
@@bmstylee my bad, but there a indeed people here on CZcams still building second gen dakotas.
Here's a video of Boosted MotorSports Hellcat Swap Dodge Dakota called the Hellkotaczcams.com/video/oxRqqvc4Ol4/video.html
950 HP on the strip back then nowadays there's people driving down the street in cars that have 1000 HP
What ever happens to these build?
pretty sure all the parts in this video are not available anymore.
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😂
Just over 250 hp. Nowadays you can get 500 from a 345 CI motor.
250hp at the tire with an old style auto in 2001/02? when this originally aired. You got 300hp+ from a Kia in 2020 with a Turbo. But again in 1998 a Kia made under 200hp at the crank.
255 horsepower..all that? 255 horsepower?
Thats what i was gonna say.... That is insane
they ran it at minimum boost and didn't do the dyno right.
255 hp but probably 375 ft lb of torque. No real custom tuners on the market at the time of the recording so that’s going the hinder the results aswell.
@@nawscawp Totally agree. I've had it lucky that I can use my laptop with cable and software to tune all I want at home. Well for the time being. Coal rollers got the EPA all riled up. I don't blame the EPA, but man, if only tuners kept things under the radar.
This is 20 years ago. Technology wasn't that advanced like today is
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
