All you Trilogy boys and girl get in here!

[Motorhead350]

I want to know a few things.

1. After you bolted your blower on what was the difference in your 1/4 mile time.

2. Did you have slicks?

3. What other mods did you have?

I am hoping to hear from the person who had on a blower, slicks and nothing else.

Please let me know what your results were.

If you are running low 12s or high 11s on pump gas how did you get there? Those using the sqeeze please mention that. Also did you get to the low 12s or high 11s with your stock pully?

I am nothing looking for trouble, just some answers from experience.

Thank you.

After all this work, you're now considering ditching your ProCharger for Trilogy?

My Merc's previous owner ran 12.26 with 4.10s and a 390 pulley. What I'm saying is your set-up has more than enough potential if you ever get it all hammered out.

[Motorhead350]

No matter what it's never good enough. I want to be near your times or closer. The best I can do is 12.7 on a really good day. 12.7 = Fail.

what MPH are you running a 12.7 at? Maybe you just need to learn to drive the car. It would suck to get a trilogy and do worse. Most of the snails are rather similar, I do the numbers in my sig on pos 295 street tires with my home done pos tune. Hard to believe that the blower is the problem.

*edit* Saw your time on the slip page, I've ran that ET and MPH on street tires, if that was a street tire run I'd say that's a pretty good time.

Thats probably because your car has tons of other issues. The procharger isnt one of them...


Who tuned your car?

[O's Fan Rich]

I'm a Trilogy owner..... I'm here.... but have nothing to bring to the table.

[Shermanator]

Bone stock 10.015 1/8th - 15.02 1/4 @ 91.34W/Trilogy 26X10 MT ET Streets 7.87 1/8th 12.345 1/4 @ 110.36 w/ race tune and stock 3.4 pulley.

[Motorhead350]

Once again I am not the issue, I know how to drive. Ask Zack. The best he could get my car to run was 13.0 when I was doing 12.8... I am not the problem.

[RR|Suki]

Then it's something else because you are doing 109mph, so the blower is doing its job, that should be good for a 12.4 with a good 60', 12.3 maybe a little better with a great 60'

PS what did Zack say he thought the problem was?

[DOOM]

:banana2: GO FOR THE TRILOGY DOM :banana2:

[Motorhead350]

PS what did Zack say he thought the problem was?

He just says my car is a nightmare.

[RR|Suki]

:lol::lol: well good luck, you've got MPH to go a lot faster, dunno what to tell you

[DOOM]

Could the problem be in the trans?

[justbob]

I guess i'm your man for answers Dom.
Pure stock on street tires = 15.4 - 15.7 at 91ish
Out of the box Trilogy on street tires = 13.3 at 105 was always the average.
Out of the box Trilogy on MT ET streets = 12.92 at 107 consistant
The car is running quite rich and has never been tuned. The last time out was with a 3.2 pulley and no change in times.
I average 1.75 on my 60'

[Bradley G]

Stock I was able to rip off 15.3 @ 92 That used to feel fast!:burnout:

[RR|Suki]

What's your best 60'?

[Pops]

PS what did Zack say he thought the problem was? The Bolt went 12.21 at 109 and the 60 foot was only 1.83. You need to sort out what you have!

[Mike]

He just says my car is a nightmare.

^^^That's awesome^^^ :lol:

[Motorhead350]

What's your best 60'?

I am stuck at 1.9 times, but I think I have a 1.8 somewhere.

Zack thinks there is a leak if I have a 360 pully and am only at 8psi when I should be at 12. I am turning the car over to him and he told me he will fix it and make it into a rocket. :eek: I have never heard him say something like that before.

Who needs a Trilogy when you can have the Zack fix? :D

I kid I kid. Either way taking it to the guy who knows his stuff before I make any major decisions, seems like the best way to go through this.

[RF Overlord]

Dom, you have to decide the best route for yourself...buying a new Trilogy and having a competent tech (yes, like Zack :) ) install it will cost you 6 large anyway. A used setup, if you can find one, will be less money, but you may end up with just as many headaches as you have now. I can't imagine there's so much wrong with your current kit that you can't fix it for WAY less than that, and have a car that is at least as strong.

As others have said, your 12.8 is right in line with what a stock Trilogy will deliver using drag radials.

[Bradley G]

You may have to shop for a used Trilogy Dom.
You may have pee'd into the Koolaid Once too often, with my pals in the Motor city.
Bob, I will disagree with you on the 12.8 being the norm, with a stock "T" kit and drag radials.
If you heed what Lidio says about that, It most certainly may yield those numbers, but not on every car and region.
The cool temps and dry air & altitude, will have a huge impact on the actual ET's.
My assessment;
If you race at or near sea level in cool temps, you have a very good chance to dip into the high 12's in a stock Marauder, Trilogy enhanced.
Several have accomplished that on street tires, but not in this area.
The lion share of us "midwesterners" (1000' alt.) run in the low 13's about 13.3-13.6 in the summer heat.
So Dom,
Save your money, like Bob said,

We could not take all the crying and bashing if you expect any different results.
Besides, Your 140K dilapidated, gery rigged , kerosene fueled, Marauder is already faster than my car!:baby:
And above all!
Stay away from that Pusher, he made me promises that he could get lower ET's than I could too.

[Embassy]

Then focus on this instead of what supercharger you should or could have.

Good point....

[RacerX]

So how much did you say you want to get rid of your procharger for??? :D
Dibs??? :banana:

[CRUZTAKER]

With a 3.33 pulley I was around 10lbs of boost.
The car ran 12.2 all day on better than average street tires, but this was with the headlight out, and on 100 octane tune.

I also had your similar problem.
I was trapping at 120 to 123 mph and only pulling off 11.6-12.0 et's.

I wasn't hooking and wasting a ton of energy in the first 300 feet.

I would definately stick with what you have.
The prochargers are a good product, reliable, and known for making a ton of power.

You really need to have Zack go over the car with a fine tooth comb and find a serious tuner that will spend a considerable amount of time on the dyno getting the tune right.

My car has made atleast 30 dyno runs in various stages over the last week and hours upon hours of software manipulation locating, and correcting weak points and fine tuning settings.

The 3 dyno run and 30 minutes of programming just doesn't always get the car right the first time.

[Motorhead350]

Berry, I am giving the car to Zack for a day sometime in the next week and he will do just that. He recently pushed my tubing by my intake in a little more and clampled it down... it takes two people to do this right. Soon as he did that the car has more to it than ever before. I could be where I wanna be at a 12.2, but we will see.

I also agree that I need someone to take more than 30 minutes to tune my car, but I thought I was happy. We will see. Maybe it needs new slicks.

If zack says your car is safe to run at the 1320.... Dont run it at the 1320, unless you want your car to sound like a powerstroke diesel...


Just sayin!

Uhhh....he said mine was fine after he built it and it ran mid 11's...and still does to this day 5,250 miles later.

Should I be worried?
Or perhaps is this advice just your IMHOFOS?
