If your Marauder runs 11 sec....Please Enter.

[Smokie]

Please read completely before posting.

I am interested in knowing a couple of things, who's Marauder was the FIRST to get in to the 11's WITHOUT NITROUS and who has the FASTEST MARAUDER TIMESLIP WITHOUT NITROUS.

Please, the owner of the car is the one I want the info from; not a friend who saw it or heard about it, if you know someone who should post here and has not, contact the person and encourage him to share with us....not you.

If you meet the 11 second criteria WITHOUT NITROUS please tell us the date and complete mods list at the TIME OF THE RUN, NOT WHAT YOU HAVE AT THIS MOMENT.

If you already have posted a timeslip to correspond with criteria simply provide a link, if you never provided a timeslip I urge you to do so, not because I needed, but because without one there will be endless arguments.
Even with timeslip, I'm sure there will be arguments....:D

FIRST 11'S., MODS. LIST.

FASTEST 11'S, MODS. LIST.

Thank you all.:)

[Rick-n-Miami]

What about pump gas (93)? Is the run good if it was on 100, 110/112 or 116 octane race gas?

[bigslim]

Lidio's was the first to run in the 11's without nitrous. I think Zack's is the fastest without nitrous.

[martyo]

I ran an 11.64 last year at this time on blower only (with no gas).

I found the time slip. Here it is:

It would be worth knowing if there is an 11 second Marauder on pump gas (93), I hope that this thread will reveal what is the absolute minimun required to get in to 11's, as told by the actual person who achieved the feat.

We know that we have Marauders knocking on 10 seconds and it will happen this year....I hope to discover what is the bare minimun that propelled an 11 second MM.

Marty, thank you for sharing, when you have an opportunity, could you share with us the mods at that time that helped the car achieved that speed. Thanks, Javier.

[Smokie]

I encourage all members to participate in this thread, offer whatever info or opinion you wish.:) In regards to actual data about a run or mod. I do insist that the facts come from the actual owner of the timeslip....thank you guys, I hope this thread proves informative, enjoyable and non-combative.:D

Built iron block
Procharger F1R through ice chilled intercooler running 15 psi
Nitto Drag Radials
6 point leather-wrapped cage
Enough Dynomat to line a limo

(I bring the last two items up only because they added so much damn weight to the car).

I always knew your car was heavier than OEM, can you share with us your race weight. Do you have taller gears than OEM, changed T/C ??? thanks.

At that time, car plus driver weighed 4,850.

I was running a 4.10 gear.

Converter 3,500 rpm triple plate.

Let's just say that I hope our new set up will be even better. Stay tuned for details.

[MikesMerc]

I've been into the 11s without NOS, but I do not have a timeslip to back it up. Frankly, I haven't kept any of my non-NOS slips since last year when I put the NOS on. I'm sure it disqualifies me not to have a slip, and that's why I haven't even bothered to post about it.

But, for what its worth I ran an 11.96 @115 at Grand Bend Raceway last October with Lidio. It was pretty chilly that night...about 65 degrees. I had already run much faster with NOS, so I didn't bother keeping the slip.

Mods at the time:

Widened Rims and Nitto DRs
4.10 gears
Trilogy kit with 2.8 pulley
Kooks headers
SCT 90MM MAF, JLT intake
Race gas tune

I'm posting this only because it seems you are accumulating data. I lay no "official" claims without a time slip.

So far four 11 second cars:

Martyo : 11.64 @ 119 mph in April of 2005

MI2QWK4U: 11.92 @ 114 mph in October of 2005.

MikesMerc: 11.96 @ 115 mph in October of 2005.

Defyant: 11.98 @ 115 mph in November 2005.

I was reviewing my movie collection and Lidio and Jerry were down in Bradenton, Fl in March of 2004, at the time Lidio was running about 12.2 and Jerry about 12.7. So I know 11's had to come some time after that, don't remember when Zack ran his first 11.

[SergntMac]

I've got some slips you may be interested in, Javier, but the last time we spoke of that here, things got nasty. I'm not interested in any of that again, or in adding any confusion to your thread.

If you're looking for performance data from the field, I'd like to contribute if I can. Please -mail me at SergntMac@aol.com, we'll trade 411.

Mac if one of your cars ran 11's, I don't require a timeslip for me to believe. Date, timeslip info and mods at the time of the run.

To determine who was the first 11 second Marauder, yes I would prefer a dated slip. Whatever is provided here is to share with the club, strictly voluntary, there are no prices or awards.

For my personal curiosity I would like to know the date of the first 11 second MM. run, just like I suspect 2006 will be the year of the first 10 second run, it's a milestone.

I have an interest in knowing what mods propel a MM. to 11's.....sort of minimun needed to get there.:)

I feel the information in this thread should be provided by the member that performed the "deed". I hope this thread catches the attention of Jerry, Zack, Lidio and Dave. It may not, or they may choose not to participate.

Whatever info is provided here it's more relevant in my opinion, if it is provided by the car owner posting here. I could dig it up....and it could also be wrong or incomplete.:)

[Smokie]

Well this may be as far as this thread goes, missing input from several major players.

Conclusions up to this point:

Lidio's old car PROBABLY was the first MM. in the 11's.

Zack PROBABLY has the fastest 11 sec run on ONE power adder.

And for SURE without a shadow of a doubt no one has run 11 seconds on fewer mods and PUMP GAS than our own DEFYANT.:bows: :bows: :bows:

Thank you for your input.:)

And, if I had Zack's 60 foot time, and did none thing else to my car, I would be in the 10's. He has quite an accomplishment with that 60 foot time of his. Life begins in the first 60 feet!

[MI2QWK4U]

Well Smokie, for whatever its worth....
Stock Motor
Stock Torque Converter
No NOS
Stock Suspension
Stock Cats
Stock Oil Filter
Stock spark plugs
Stock tstat
Stock Motor oil

Mods:
Trilogy Kit #2 w/2.8 Pully.
Pro M 80 MAF w/K&N filter on stock airtube w/elephant nose still installed.
Kooks Headers and Magnaflow mufflers.
3:73 gears.
Nitto 305/45/18 drag radials.

It should be noted that this car has yet to run its best time with these mods. The last track visit was racing the Ford GT, my best time did not include loading up on the launch, I just walked it out to avoid spinning the tires running the GT. If it hooks up with loading up a nice break torque on a launch, It will drop my 60 ft time. Lidio fully expects a low 11.7s out of this setupu. There will be no more mods, its where its at. If I had the 4:10s like everyone else, Lid thinks I would be right at high 11.5s. Maybe I will do that. I wouldnt mind being the fastest single power adder Marauder.

Thanks Dave, looks like you have the closest to OEM gears to reach 11's, do you still have OEM h-pipe, or did you weld the stock cats to an x-pipe? Thanks for sharing.

[bigslim]

I know that Trilogy #1 has run in the 11s many times without nitrous. Check with Jerry on that.

[Smokie]

I found an old post where Jerry states that Lidio ran an 11.93 in April of 2004, no mph, no information about how the car was setup at that exact time.

Jerry did an 11.97 in Orlando on March 2005, no mph, no mods info at the date of run, his engine blew the following weekend at Bradenton.

I know they both ran high 11's without nitrous, but there is no timeslip I could find or info on exact mods at the time.

Found old post by Zack November 2004 he ran 11.82 @ 115 mph, again I don't know exactly how his car was setup that day.


All evidence points to the 11 second milestone belongs to Lidio on April 2004.

[martyo]

I ran an 11.57 yesterday but shut down early.

Same blower only combo. I did not spray the car.

Stay tuned.

[Zack]

With the stock motor, my car ran a best of 11.62.
Right after the engine was done, i ran an 11.69 in Florida in 100 degree heat. A few weeks later I ran an 11.61.

116.88mph 567890

[martyo]

My best pass today was an 11.22 at 128.5 mph. If I get my 60 foot time down, I should be in the 10s.

This was the fastest pass with me driving. My car's best time is still 11.08, but the mph was only 125.

Nope. I dumped the slicks, they weren't safe. I am running the Mickey Thompson ET Strets. they hook great, my car just bogged, thus the 2.08 60 foot.

[MikesMerc]

I'm sure you'll get it next time! Good luck Marty!

[Lidio]

My Marauder ran a best of 11.71 in the late fall of 2004 at either Milan or Norwalk around the time that I broke an axle. I'm sorry for not being more exact and I don't have the time slips to post, but I'm certain it ran an 11.71 at about 117 or so MPH. At that time it had a all stock long block, completely stock exhaust from front to back, totally stock trans and TQ converter, 4.10's, Eaton Posi, widened rims with the 305 Nitto drags. The Trilogy had a 2.8 pulley ( about 13.5psi ), the blower had been ported but I think it didn't do a thing and was a waist of time and money. I had the larger heat exchange out in front and a 80mm Pro-M MAF. With me in it... it weighed in at 4410 lbs. This happened with pure 100 unleaded in the tank. I never ran it down the 1/4 mile with regular premium fuels. I just got to hooked on the 100 unleaded and what I was able to do with the tune once it was in the tank, so I just always went out of my way to use the 100 unleaded, mostly cause I new it was the best thing for the pistons at the level of performance I was after.

The list is almost complete, Jerry is the only one I don't have his best SINGLE power adder run and mods at the time of the run.

I want to thank all the members that have participated and provided info on their car mods when they had their best SINGLE power adder effort.

I know that there are much faster times out there as our members put together combinations of blower plus wet nitrous, dry nitrous; methanol seems to be and up and coming choice with a great deal of potential. I have no doubt one day 11's for our car will be considered very good, but not great. I wanted to have a thread where our pioneers tell us when and how they first entered the 11's.

Thank you all.:)

[mpearce]

Even though it wasn't an "11" second run...BillyGman ran a 12.007 @114.xx a while ago on a single power adder if I'm not mistaken.

I don't know about you guys...but 7 "one thousandths" of a second, is about as close to an 11 second run as you're going to get.

So if all you're doing is compiling data to see what the "minimum" is required for an 11 second run...I believe his set up should be considered as well...even if he doesn't post here.

-Mat

p.s. it should be noted on your list of 11 second cars, that Zack and Marty ran those times on forged motors. Lidio, Mike, Dave, and Charlie ran those times on stock motors.

Mat I never felt that I was splitting hairs here, as a matter of fact I insisted that the car owner provide the info so that I would not be accused of making up stuff, I listed in the update the BEST single power adder run that each owner provided, I asked for mods that got them into the 11's, some folks got there on 9 psi, some on 13.5, the method to get there is different for every guy, I have left nothing out, I have made no judgements, I accept the word of each member as a fact.

Anyone that takes the time to read the thread from beginning to end will get the same info, I presented no opinions or judgements.:)

[mpearce]

In regards to forged motors, Marty yes, Zack ran 11's prior to going inside motor.:)

This is your split hair...because everyone else (but Marty) ran 11's on stock block also. You also went back and bolded that for me, because I read your initial post where it wasn't bolded.

I just suggested a note that those top two times you have in the updated list were on forged motors. Even though Zacks was 1 tenth off, it's still awesome. To me, a forged motor is a big deal. It's a big mod, and pretty expensive one at that.

I'm a fan of accuracy...thats my job, so I can't help it in real life, but this is your list, and I don't really care how it's done. I just made a suggestion, thats all.

Wow,

Is this a competition, or information gathering?

Just checking... It's info gathering and Javier's own personal effort to sort things out. But, I don't understand how you can suggest adding someone in the data base that doesn't qualify, yet be so strongly focused on other likewise minor details. Add to that, you seem to be getting upset over it. Why not just enjoy Javier's work, and if you find the data collection invalid, ignore it.

[mpearce]

In actuality, the entire thread is about minor details. The first to do this, or the fastest with this or that. I never said anything was false. I also didn't tell you to "add someone to the database". Just suggested it be "considered" because of how close it was.

I just think it's funny how you both first posted something, then went back and bolded something, or re-quoted me to make it sound better.

I'm glad you re-quoted me Mac. It just shows your inflamitory nature.

Mat a sport that separates first from second in 0.001 of a second is all about minor details. I think Lidio's milestone as the FIRST Marauder ever in the 11's is notewhorthy. There can only be a first once.

Everything else in the 11's SINGLE power adder list is suject to change because I hope that we are not done adding members to what I consider a very illustrious list.

Editing a statement by changing to bold type is not an effort on my part to offend you, I use bold in the hope that something I consider important is not missed by someone else, not as an attempt to insult.

I hope the list continues to grow and the order I also expect to change, what will not change is the fact that Lidio did it first.

Look forward to that beer.:D

I know that there are much faster times out there as our members put together combinations of blower plus wet nitrous, dry nitrous; methanol seems to be and up and coming choice with a great deal of potential. I have no doubt one day 11's for our car will be considered very good, but not great. I wanted to have a thread where our pioneers tell us when and how they first entered the 11's.

Thank you all.:)

The above is a list of the fastest runs by a Marauder with a single power adder, if you wish to know what was the condition of the motor and other mods, take the time to read the entire thread, the information is there provided by those that made it happen. Javier.

I see your point and respect your effort here Javier . But I like the idea of any power adder, any number of power adders, stock or forged motors and get in the 11's no matter how you can do it. :D

I am a run what you brung guy and I give respect to any Marauder that makes the 11's.:beer:

I ran an 11.57 yesterday but shut down early.

Same blower only combo. I did not spray the car.

Stay tuned.

I do also Tom, fastest is fastest. My area of interest is single power adder because that is where I will always be.:D

[Smokie]

Zack, Dave you are correct Marty ran an 11.57 on single power adder, as soon as Marty has the time to provide me the MPH for that run I will correct the current list. I wish Jerry would chime in with his best single adder time, he belongs on that list also.:)

I just got back to the shop after a looooong day!

Anyway, as some of you may have heard, I made a "driver mod" and my junk ran an 10.63 @ 129.75 mph. I am pretty pleased although I think my driver (Shankin here) could have really pulled out the stops and gotten me a better set of numbers.

I will get some sleep and get back to NY and post all the gory, I mean glorious, details! :D

Smokie, hold on to this post for a couple of weeks. Its opening day and I am planning on finding how much I left on the table being conservative with my Launch when I raced the Ford GT and set my personal best. Lidio is convinced that there are a couple of tenths left on the table. Here is looking for a nice loaded launch that sticks...

[Zack]

glassman99 went 11.59 @ 120mph this weekwnd

I plan to, the only thing that is static is first 11, first 10, first 9 ???. I hope that ALL members that get into the 11's on a SINGLE power adder will come here and tell us all how they did it.

I will revise the list order and make additions as the information is made available by the owners of the car that accomplished the feat.

I hope Jerry and glassman99:D are watching.
