And the newest 13 sec Marauder is....

[Big House]

Big House's Darkside. I joined the club tonight at Capital with a 13.75 @ 99.6mph run. Solid run from start to finish. I am definitly pleased at the last bit of money spent. With my newest time, the exhaust, intake spacer, and tune netted me 5 tenths. I am pleased and I love this car.:D The timeslip is attached.

Congrats man! I am hoping for that time or lower with a bunch of new mods I will be doing very shortly.

[Joe Walsh]

CONGRATS!

William, That's a nice run!

I see triple digit traps in the future!....:banana2:

[Big House]

Maybe...with merc's drag radials, 13.5 at better that 100.

[sailsmen]

Congrats, good time.:banana2:

I remember when I hit 13.7. You are in a new club - faster than most muscle cars.

[RCSignals]

Congrats!

and you did it with M+Z control arms too ;)

[Seneca]

congratulations House!.. Nice #'s

[JMan]

Congrats! You were kickin' some butt. Nice 1.983 60' also! Must have launched like a missile.

I have them sitting around. I am going to MIR Sunday. So maybe we could put new plugs in and set you up with DR's next weekend. Nice time slip. You were running with a monster in the rigth lane, 1.4 sixies and a 9.5 trap. Nice job getting down the 1320.:party:

[Blackened300a]

Now I know I have to get the track, our mods are very close, I can probably pull a similar time.

Welcome to the 13 second club, You can officially smoke 85% of the cars on the road.

[Big House]

Yeah Merc...that monster was a eight point caged Camero with chute to match.

nice times ,i cant wait ot run mine

Would you be interested in my slightly used (maybe 20 runs max.) BFG P255-16 Drag Radials on CVPI 16" steelie rims?

I've cut 1.795 second 60 foot times with them and have NOT been able to blow them off at the track.

(I've now got a set of widened rims with P305 Nitto 555Rs on them and most likely will not use the CVPIs again.)

Being shorter than the OEM P245/55-18 BFGs, the P255-16s will also give you a better gear ratio...They effectively turned my 3.55s into '3.89s'.

[sabtaj1]

Thats the setup I was gonna go with.

I may have missed some information.

Can you tell us in a little more detail about your car: What exhaust size, intake spacer (How do I get this option? Or is it proprietary?), tire type and width of wheels (Stock or widened?

Thank you for the help.

John,

All my mods are listed below. Specifically, the intake spaceer was ordered from Reinhart Racing, and the exhaust is the full stainless works kit. The long tubes have 1 5/8 primarys with a 3 inch collector. The rest of the kit is 3 inch through the mufflers and 2.5 through the tips. The Tips are 3.5 inches. My wheels are 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear.

Big House...
What was your reason for running a 3000 sc in Lieu of the 3500 Stall Converter..?
Just curious...it's the next item on the list and I had gotten the impression that the 3500 was the way to go...searched old treads...
Oh, by the way, my Marauder has a 4:10 with tune and is a daily driver....
Thanks, Architect

[Advancedautosec]

nice run, i plan on going to capital some time this month to see what i can do. my goal is to get right where your at.

[Big House]

I was a great deal I could not walk away from. And yes...my 13 sec Marauder is my daily driver.

What kind of temps and humidity? Our setups are VERY similar (just haven't installed the headers yet) and I'm curious what to expect.

Nice run.

[Big House]

Alot more noise...a greater temptation to punch the gas, decreased fuel mileage, very expensive black rubber skid marks and a lot more fun.

All offset by an ear-to-ear grin though!

Yeah, Big House feels like a kid again in his Marauder. ;)
