Started tearing it apart a little early so I can take my time and clean it up a little. We made a tent to do the swap in with light and a propane heater...

i love when brakes feel that way. i was always a fan of dodge brakes compared to chevy but i thought maybe it was just me. then when i read an old review of the dakota nad they talked about how much better the brakes were.
do you think this thing is going to handle good? like most people build for strip or for handling. do you think it will go around a track nicely?

I was seeing 13lbs with the stock pulleys and a small filter. Not sure how the hell that happened. I was spinning up to 6k no problem. Changed to the other pulleys, 3.5 and 8.25 and I still see 13lbs in first gear, however I was having tensioner issues since the belt i was using was way to long, tensioner would flip and stay, thus only getting about 10psi in the later gears. Fixed that but now I don't have a track to go to cause its cold as shit. I would like to move my PCM and get that 4" filter done, oh well.

It shouldnt handle any different then before maybe a little better with less weight up front. Not sure how it would do around a track.

It would have been easier and a ton cheaper if I sarted with a more common vehicle but its so much sweeter when you have something most dont. So you answer your question, yes.
