We had a Toyota MR2 Dyno Day last weekend, and of course my MR2s are in a billion pieces, so I stuck the Dakota on the rollers -
2002 Dodge Dakota Quad-Cab 4x4
5.9L V8
13,000 miles
Mobil 1 5w30 oil
Flowmaster 3" Cat-Back Exhaust System
Everything else stock
The red blip is when the truck down shifted
Max was 195.60hp torque was 266.6 pounds feet.
max power was made by removing the tube from the Throttlebody to the stock airbox which a Mopar paper filter sits. 8hp was lost by the stock airbox.

so the dyno guy said that is about 260hp at the flywheel. which sounds about right.
