The Trilogy doesn't stop pulling. :D Honestly, I'm not a fan of high speeds - I'm more of a 0-speed limit type guy, but I have been getting on the freeway and the Trilogy will pull and pull and pull. At 65MPH you can stomp on it, and you'll slide up to 100 before you know it.

I'm satisfied with the Trilogy power on the highway, at 60 or 70 MPH in 3rd gear the thing feels like a toy car and will make you smile every time :cool:

You will not have any problem or complaints about the acceleration of a Trilogy, from any speed to any speed. The power is always there.

However, if never-ending, freight-train like passing power from highway speeds is your bag, Vortech and ProCharger are better at this.

The Trilogy seems to be creating max boost at really low RPM. When I boot it at highway speeds 70 - 80 - 2500 to 3000 rpm's I have max boost immediately. there is no wait for rpm build-up. Max power is there now. Acceleration is instant and very strong and absolutely linear all the way to stupid. The best part is that until I ask for it the driving of the car is absolutely as stock. This car is a total sleeper with my current set-up. Until you drive a Trilogy car you will not believe what an absolutely perfect S/C kit this is for the Marauder. Dennis:beer:

You will have no problems on the highway or elsewhere with the Trilogy kit. Just easing into the boost at 65 / 70 & you are blowing by cars.

Basically the stock appearance of the Trilogy SC compared to the other kits is what sold me. I wanted a SC that look like Ford installed it at the factory and that is exactly what I have. To many people it looks like just like Cobra SC set-up and would easily believe it was stock if I did not tell them it was a Trilogy SC.

Also, the SC MM with modest mods in my opinion will take any SRT 300C, SRT Charger, Magnum, Cadillac V series, etc.

Thanks for all the replies. What are thoughts on max power levels with the Trilogy setup. I know there are a few cars that are in the mid-to-low 11's and high-11's are very common. I do believe that this would be more than enough for me, but who knows what the future would bring. What if I wanted to do a killer, sleeper build-up (from outward appearances) like MartyO's car. Would the Trilogy end up being a hinderance to all out horsepower. Or is there hope of a Trilogy car hitting the 10's and still being streetable?

Also, who would be the closest Trilogy cars to Iowa? Just wondering where I will need to go for a test drive?

Being one of the few people who have sat in both cars and driven Trilogy1, I can tell you this: Driving either on the road would be less than pleasurable. I'm sure Jerry will get Trilogy1 in the 10s, but these are two Big Boy Cars, and each owner has pockets far deeper than I. If a sleeper is what you want, nothing beats a Trilogy. Maybe you could make it to Woodward in August?

All-out low 11 second, mid-10 second cars?

Out of my league. Sorry.

keep in mind that the car is static and not pushing against the wind, or, sustaining acceleration for a 4400 pound car.

Do you think the dyno testing would be more accurate if the total weight of the rotating dyno jet drums (or whatever they are) were equal to 4400lbs? I can see your point here, and not sure how much they actually weigh. Just curious if that would add a more realistic number.

Correct. My car leaps like a cat from a punch at 70 MPH.

I rarely have to do more than roll up the throttle a tad and "poof". Traffic gone. :D

Yes, both have way deeper pockets than me, but I don't look at the car as a project to do in a couple months time. I plan on keeping this car for a long time. There are a couple of other cars on the Timeslips page well in the 11's with seemingly not much done.

I want a car that runs like stock for everyday driving and that will hand it to most of the cars that see street time. Something that, if I ever wanted to go overboard with, would have the basics there.

I want to bolt on the power adder to start with, but still have it be reliable. And the Trilogy really seems to fit that bill nicely. I know someday the motor will get a rebuild and the rebuild will be something that can handle more power. I would really like to break that 500 RWHP mark and close to that with RWTQ, too, but have it built to reliable take that kind of power. Not something that is on the ragged edge.

If I went with the Trilogy it would be installed by Lidio and tuned by him, in person, as well. Tuned to be safe for as long as possible. Just wanted to make sure that the Trilogy would have the power from a highway speed (55-65 mph and running around 2000rpm) to pull to redline from there - if I ever wanted to. Then again, I would turn off the overdrive before hitting it, so that puts it up around 3000rpm. Just wanted to know if the Trilogy has the capability to put enough air through all the way up to 6200-6500 rpm.

You are going about it the right way. You can begin and end your project with Lidio and Trilogy. MI2QWK4U and MikesMerc have the cars you're talking about building. Perhaps they'll see this and chime in. I can tell you this-you won't be disappointed with highway acceleration-it's phenomenal. The car will pull to redline without missing a beat. Add in the factory-installed look and sleeper aspect, and you've got a winner. Keep us posted!!!

Eric, you are curious about highway power....this post was from the trip to Ennis Texas for MVI. The Detroit contingent was challanged on the way down by an unsuspecting Mustang Cobra, well...here is the thread:
http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4969

Needless to say, even the bone stock kit, which I only had on the car for 1 day before heading to Texas, ran extremely well at highway speeds. Yes...we finished the install at 1am at lidios shop and were on the road by 10 am, hows that for confidence!

Eric,

IIRC Dave is experimenting with a custom, even smaller, pulley that has not been offered - either that or he was considering it. The Trilogy can put out alot, but everything has it's limit, hence why some Trilogy owners have gone with the giggle gas on top of it.

Now if you were to get the Trilogy, are you SURE you want to have someone else install it? I was in that same position as you, I was going to drive it all the way to Florida to have the experts (Tallboy & Carfixer) throw it all together. After looking at the install manual I bit the bullet and did it myself, and the thing that counts is that I would love to do it all over again.

If you have any questions you can always give Chuck or Claude a call, as well as the other 100+ Trilogy "Installers" here - plus you have my thread to reference :)

I guess the big thing is just trying to find a Trilogy car relatively close to get a ride in and go from there.

Just wanted to know if the Trilogy has the capability to put enough air through all the way up to 6200-6500 rpm.

My Marauder was the second kit installed. Right from the start with Lidio's guidance, we set my Marauder up quickly to on the edge of safety and all out insane power. Its coming up on 3 years being installed now. Mind you I have the fastest Marauder running a minimum of performance mods and still have a stock motor, I think there is something to be said about that, of anyone on this forum with any blower on a stock motor, mine is on top. That is thanks to the Trilogy and Lidio's genius in tuning. It is the ultimate sleeper. As bone stock looking as any 4 door sedan can appear, but hit the gas and you could snap your neck. The everyday drivability is absolutely supurb, you just couldnt tell unless you tip into the boost! But once you do, its over. I think complementing your Trilogy blower with a smaller pully, and exhaust and air intake mods, which are very minor, you can deminish the fall off of boost, rwhp, and torque sometimes attributed to the roots setup. My HP doesnt fall off at all, right to 6400 on the dyno, where it was over 500 RWHP, the key is at 2900 rpm its at 470 RWtorque. Now the torque eventually only drops as low as 425 at 6400 rpm. Hope this helps....any questions, fire away. But if you want the ultimate sleeper, this is the route to go.

OK, since I really don't have any options near by for test drives, can a Trilogy equipped Marauder owner tell me how the car pulls and makes power when accelerating from highway speeds (55-65 mph)?

I know the advantages of the roots style setup for our big heavy cars, but also know the centrifugal SC works well once the rpms get up there. So, how does the Trilogy pulls at mid-to-high rpms? Is there a Dyno chart comparison around between the power curves of the Trilogy compared to the Vortech or Procharger kits?

I am really hoping for at least rides, if not drives, in a Trilogy and comparable Vortech or Procharge equipped cars. I want the power low to get the car up and going (especially if I could keep the stock gears for the highway) but still have that pull on the top end.

I can give you information about the behavior of my car:

If my intention is to pass at 60-65 mph and I want to do it "hard" I turn off O/D and bury the pedal, this results in a very hard violent downshift to 2nd followed by an equally violent hard upshift to 3rd at about 92 mph; on dry pavement in a straight line there is NO loss of traction (thank God) after that there is a very brief period of time to burying the needle in 3rd gear at a measly 6150 rpms.

This is factual information that was gathered during testing under the utmost safe conditions and is not intended to encouraged anyone to follow suit. The testing was done and therefore no need exists to repeat the effort.

I have no idea what 4th gear can offer and I don't have access to a facility where I can safely find out.

You should come up for the Woodward Dream Cruise bash we are having again this August. You could have the keys to Trilogy cars that run the gamit, from bone stock kits to cars set up like Mikes or mine. We will treat you good.....not to mention it will be a great way to gather information on what to do with your ride.

I wish I could make it, but unfortunately it won't work. What I am hoping is to get out there for a Kook's and full exhaust install by Lidio and his recommended exhaust shop sometime this year. At that time I would love to snag a ride or drive in one.

Your explination of how your cars runs is what I want. I already have a JLT CAI and will have the exhaust done before the Trilogy, too. So I guess I have both of those ends ready for the Trilogy. And I have always planned a set of widened stock wheels with Nitto's when a S/C goes on the car.

Again, thanks for all the input and I will have to figure out a way to get out there and check some of the cars out.

Eric,

Seems like everyone has pointed you in the right direction so far.

I'll just add that you can fairly easily get into the 11s with a Trilogy kit. You'll need a little exhaust and gears work, but that's about it (along with widened rims with some good tires). From a roll, the T kit is still deadly.

To be honest, a tad over 500rwhp is about the limit for the Trilogy kit. That's with a smaller pulley (2.8) and a solid tune. However, that's good enough for 11s. More importantly, a stock motor can live there, and the car will have awesome street manners at the same time.

More important than peak HP, though, is punch through the power band. What you wants is torque...lots of it, on a nice flat power curve. That's what makes street driving such pleasure. It gives you the big block feeling.

In the end, I did go with NOS on top of the blower as I wanted to get DEEP into the 11s. With the forged lower, I'll be knocking on 11.2s shortly. But, the best part is that the NOS is for track only. On the street, the blower is more than enough.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I wish I could make it. That would be awesome to test the 2 cars back to back. Having the choices is great, but with the investment, a little scary, too.

The Trilogy doesn't stop pulling. :D Honestly, I'm not a fan of high speeds - I'm more of a 0-speed limit type guy, but I have been getting on the freeway and the Trilogy will pull and pull and pull. At 65MPH you can stomp on it, and you'll slide up to 100 before you know it.

All I can say is that if you wanna go fast on the highway - the button is there - in the form of a pedal :)

These questions you are asking are making me interested in this long term project of yours. What Tallboy has said, the Trilogy is VERY quick, responsive and always at the ready. Driveability with it is perfect. This truly is a very well put together kit for this car. I hope you get the opportunity to drive a few different kinds of blowers and can see for yourself. Then it is decision time. Goodluck.............

I want a car that runs like stock for everyday driving and that will hand it to most of the cars that see street time. I work nights, and because I'm traveling on the highway in the wee hours of the morning every single night after getting out of work, there's been numerous opportunities for me with my daily driven Trilogy equipped Marauder to put a beating on many other cars due to the highways and roads being void of traffic.

I run the standard 9.5 PSI pulley, along with nothing but 93 octane pump gasoline, and I've racked up several dozen street kills with this car in the past 26 months since I've installed the Trilogy S/Cer kit on it. And I haven't been beaten yet. 23 of these street races have taken place on the highway,from a 70 MPH roll, and even with the 4.56 gears that I've installed in the rear end, I still haven't been beaten. I raced three LS1 equipped Camaros, as well as two 2002/2003 Z06 Vettes, and none of them have kept up with my Marauder. And most of them tried to get by me several times too. They must have been so shocked and so surprised to get beat by such a big heavy car, that they didn't want to give up! And the same thing happened when a guy in a Porsche Carrera tried to race me (he also tried twice, and then turned off the highway, most likely out of sheer embarrassment :D )....

Keep in mind that all the guys with the 11 second Marauders have to run race gas to achieve those ET's. So you have to decide exactly what you want your Marauder to be. A once per week cruise car, a trailer queen, or a daily driver, since race gas costs about $6 per gallon last time I checked. The centrifugal S/Cers will give you more power over 5,000 RPM's than the Trilogy S/Cer kit will, but that doesn't mean that your car won't still have considerably more power above 5,000 RPM's with the Trilogy S/Cer than it has w/out a S/Cer at all.And like you've stated, the Trilogy S/Cer kit will also give you more power down low.

I had the 4.56 gears before I installed the Trilogy S/Cer kit, and once I installed it, I noticed right away of how much more pull the car had above 100 MPH, even with the 4.56 gears. So it isn't like the Trilogy S/Cer does at 5,000+ RPM. It's just that it doesn't increase the power as much as the centrifugals do over 5,000 RPM. The Trilogy S/Cer starts pulling real hard at 2,500 RPM, and makes the majority of it's power increases between 3,000 and 4,500 RPM. But it's still increasing power at 6,600 RPM which is where my rev limiter is set at. Just not as much as the centrifugals do way up there.

Ask Bradley why he got the Trilogy setup. He was ready to get a Vortech on his car. He came to Detroit for the Trilogy open house last last year and I threw him my keys. I told him to light it up. He drove it down Woodward and came back and told me that he was ordering the Trilogy kit.

All I have on my car is the stock Trilogy kit with the 3.4 pulley and the K&N. I still have the 410's too. This car still jumps at 70 mph. The Trilogy kit has good power all the way through the powerband.

Three reasons I got the Trilogy:
1. It looked OEM
2. It drives like a stock MM until you hit the go pedal.
3. Location of seller (as well as Jerry being a good friend now).

I have a 3.0 pulley sitting here waiting for an install. As soon as I get some extra spending money I will have it put on.

Good luck on your decision.

Stock gears, Base T-Kit, Shorty headers exhaust, PHP airbox. The rest of the car is stock. Notice the direction the Hp. curve is traveling at 6200 rpms, I think that should provide your answer.

PS. There are plenty of Centrifugal dyno charts, do a "dyno results" search. It would not be appropriate for me to display a comparison of another members chart without permission.

Good Point Darrel!
That cinched it!
You had just put on the Drag radials.
When you guys adopted me into the MCM group, thier was not one hesitation, when it came time for me to deciede.
Before I made the move, I had sampled several members cars.
All had thier strong points.Prior to purchacing Trilogy kit #93P
I was involved in a Trilogy install as well.(Thanks blackfork)

The Trilogy is so well manered, my daughter 16 drove the family to grammas' house yesterday.
She said out loud, "Moms' car takes forever, to get to fourty five"
Dads' car gets there, just touching the gas" :D
While at the WDC two years ago, Jerry drove me to his office in Dearborn.
He gave me the full tour of his facility.
I have been completly satisfied with the performance of the Trilogy.
Eric,
I know of no one, who pondered and sampled the S/C choice as long & hard as I did.
The more you look, the more you will like! :P
I know we are several hours from each other, but if we can get together some time, you will like my car, as it has the drivers seat track mod too!
Good luck and tell us what your impressions are.

Do you think the dyno testing would be more accurate if the total weight of the rotating dyno jet drums (or whatever they are) were equal to 4400lbs? I can see your point here, and not sure how much they actually weigh. Just curious if that would add a more realistic number. -Mat Well, yes. Changing the weight of the drum will produce a more realistic number for you car's performance, and most likely a lower number too. A mustang style dyno does exactly this.

The problem with this concept, is that it rules out the possibilty of a "uniform standard" of benchmarks in performance. Take for instance, a mod like a new-to-market air induction kit. Tested on a stock car, using a fixed resistance yeilds a performance expectation that helps sell the product. However, change the dyno to a mustang style where weight is factored and adjusted, you may not see any performance improvement at all. Moreover, if the dyno is adjustable, it won't take long for some to realize that by under adjusting resistance, you'll see gains no one in the field will ever achieve.

I think it's best to stick to the uniformity of the DynoJet design as a power barometer, at least until the DynaPack design gains more popularity.

Keep in mind that all the guys with the 11 second Marauders have to run race gas to achieve those ET's.

FYI - Charlie ran his in the 11s on pump gas.

Race gas is not mandatory to hit the 11s at all. For me, I simply chose to go with a more powerful race gas tune instead of going with other mods that effect oem drive feel, such as real big gears and a higher stall. Same goes for creature comforts and weight reduction. Being lighter would make a big difference, but I don't want to cut the car up. I'd just rather add more power. I'm not saying the other types of mods are bad, they're just not for me personally.

Where are you located, Eric?

I am in Central Iowa - just north of Des Moines.

But it feels so far! :P

Well since Jason, Jourdan and I are closest to Eric, I say we have a mini meet somewhere.

I would be up for it. Maybe some Saturday? I could hit the road heading over that way in the morning, do lunch somewhere, catch a ride or 2, and head back in the afternoon.

How far away are you from Galena? Too far North from your location? Just thought that since the get together there doesn't look like it is happening, then maybe just meet for the afternoon. I could even bring the wife and kids, let them go shopping, meet up with you guys, and road trip back...

Otherwise something further South, closer to I-80 is fine, too.
