Estimated 1/4 Mile

[tbone]

Inspired by MMarauder03, I have a question about my 1/4 mile too. Don't want to hijack his thread........

I'm going to Union Grove, WI for the first time in my life to race on Oct. 3. With this small list of mods, what do you think my time/mph will be?

JLT intake
18" Magnaflows with rear cat delete
Zack 93 octane tune
J mod
4.10's (Monday 9/27)

114k, but runs like a ***** ape.:banana2:

I'll literally send the best guesser a $20 bill in the mail. :beer:

[Ktorres1]

14.105 @ 98.8 mph

[hotford]

SLOW....................lol

[tbone]

I'm hoping for 100.00 or better. We'll see.:)

[tbone]

SLOW....................lol

Well, I'm not loaded like you!:alone:

[Ktorres1]

If you had a set of steeda ud pulleys, I'd say you can knock a 13.9 but with a good run I think that's possible as of now.

[hotford]

Well, I'm not loaded like you!:alone:
Just having some fun...........
not loaded but living comfortable.......

Well not to rain on your parade, but you need around 345 RwHp to run 100mph or approx 400Hp at the crank...

14.66@94.55...

[fastblackmerc]

You might be in the 14.5x range.

[Bradley G]

14.77@96.88 You have a factory freak on your hands

[Zack]

14.30's no problem

[LANDY]

14.45@ 97mph

[babbage]

14.58 @ 95.4 - Good luck!

[ctrlraven]

14.30's no problem
If you get a good launch probably faster but 14.30-14.20's.

I hope the next time I run I hit over 100.

You might be in the 14.5x range.

A lot will also depend on the weather. Hot and humid = slower

I'm in at 14.71

x2....depending on how you catch the light and how cold/dense the air is you will enjoy the hell out of yourself and dance in the mid 14's and +/- 95 MPH all day long! Have fun!

Best,
Joanthan

[LANDY]

I hope the next time I run I hit over 100.
Just make sure its really cold weather. On my n/a mm at 30* with every bolt on but a converter I was doing constant 13.8 trapping 100mph.

[Blown3.8]

14.82 at 96mph

[SID210SA]

I am going with a 14.475 @ 96.875 MPH

Are you going to count your best run, first run, or avg. run?

[TFB]

I dunno how much it will help on a Marauder, but I can pickup close to a tenth and improve mph by bypassing the P/S pump with a short belt on my 5.0 T-Bird...

[RacerX]

14.51 @ 94.8

Good luck!

[Zack]

LOL at all the 14.5 and slower guesses.

4:10's, tune and cool air... get real people

[3CzSCrewHead*]

Like people say weather and take play big part but if those are an A-OKAY
I SAY...... 14.3 @ 96-98

[breeze]

Just make sure its really cold weather. On my n/a mm at 30* with every bolt on but a converter I was doing constant 13.8 trapping 100mph.

thats it. 38* all stock but 235/50 on rear did a 14.38.... i give u 14.47 @95

With your mods in the cooler temps will net you consistant 14.45's with maybe a 14.30's depending on your cool down time. MPH will be around mid 90's, maybe a 96-97 if lucky. I have your mods plus 3K stall convertor, pullies, EMP WP, intake spacer, and a throttlebody and I ran consistant 13.7s while hot-lapping with a 13.6 after letting the car cool down completely.
Good luck!

[LANDY]

thats it. 38* all stock but 235/50 on rear did a 14.38.... i give u 14.47 @95 once you get more involved on mods you will notice what it takes to run consistant 13's.

Keep forgetting you guys up in the Midwest are starting to get cooler temps, we're still in the upper 80's down here.

Cool air makes a big difference, for sure.

Yeah MV5 I was running 14.3 all day in that soupy weather. Later that year with the same mods, I was in the 13's.

Best run makes the most sense I think.

Yep I remember that, I would of been right there with you but the "dr" tune was off for correcting the 3500 stall converter.

[Blackened300a]

I remember that too. I also remember late that night with your ex screaming at you in the car for some reason. lol We need a rematch!

I couldn't even tell you what it was about if my life depended on it. lol Thank god she didn't come to the track with me. At least the new g/f actually wants to go to the track because she wants to plus her two boys love my car. Bonus also she lives within 2-3 miles of the local track, no more lugging the jack and drag radials to the track. lol

Thats a keeper! Im planning on teaching mine to change tires and oil changes. She still wont be able to drive it though. :D

[Zack]

knine went 14.3 with 4:10's and a tune...nothing else.
:rolleyes:

[RacerX]

I guess I'm putting out low #'s because of the 114k on the o, but, you're right, colder weather can make a big diff.

[MMarauder03]

I have 96k and just ran the fastest quarter my mm had ever seen :-)

[Blown3.8]

I'm going to Union Grove, WI for the first time in my life to race on Oct. 3.

I'm banking on this.

[greggash]

14.2 @97.6

[tbone]

I'm banking on this.


How hard can it be?

[SC Cheesehead]

How hard can it be?

Yep, nothing to it.

Just power brake it, nail the throttle when the last yellow hits and go...;)

[jflave]

14.78 @ 95.7 Have fun :)

[LANDY]

How hard can it be? not really hard until your wheels break loose and your skills have to compensate for it. If you have oem tires and the weather is below 50* you might have some wheel spin but its still not that bad.

[tbone]

I'm sure my heart will be skipping and the adrenalin will be flowing. Just like the first time I made love to my High School sweetie in the back of my '72 Cutlass!:coolman:

"114k on the O"? Who cares!? I'm telling you my car is a beast! :eek:

[justbob]

First time out? 15.4 After you stop blowing off your tires and get to know the track and banking on cool weather 14.4 @ 96

You can just bring my twenty spot to the next meet. Thank you. :)

[tbone]

Well, got the car back with the new gears finally. Very happy! I punched it at 30 and the wheels broke loose along with a nice 1-2 second squeal! Next stop, supercharger!

Uh-oh, the mod bug has bitten... ;) -----> :D

Broke out not long after I joined the site. The car was 100% stock at the time. I would have gotten the supercharger by now if money wasn't an issue. The thing is, I could sell my car and get a supercharged one with less miles for less than what I would have to pay to s/c mine.

My car with mods and 114k $8500 ?
Trilogy supercharger 5000 ?
Installation 1500 ?
Total 15,000 ?
And my car needs a paint job. Not horribly though.

For around 15k, I could get a nicely tricked out, supercharged MM with way less miles. But I have an attachment to my car that has value to it as well.
More than likely, I will just sell it and buy another one when my business gets better.

Im in the same boat as you, but Im attached to my car. I could have sold it with a dead motor and with the money I spent to repair it plus the money for the car, I could have gotten a SC Marauder as well. I guess I'd prefer to drive a car that I know everything that was done to it.
Plus I like the challenge of making it faster while staying NA.

Right there with you. I would get another one if I could but would be S/C for sure. lol

14.485 on your second pass

[Tyrone Minto]

96.5 mph

Stay out of the water box and launch at 1,200-1,500rpm with about 30PSI in the rears and 38PSI in the front tires. If it is your first run, you can launch from idle and this will give you one less thing to worry about or watch and you can concentrate on the tree.
Unload the spare tire, jack, and crap in your trunk. 1/4 tank of fuel. Put your passenger seat all the way back with the back fully reclined and
windshield washer fluid empty. 8# off the front left and 8# more on the right rear. One 2" strip of blu tape to block off the top portion of the grill, LOL.
Air conditioning off.
Overdrive off. Overdrive off, Overdrive off
Check your oil.
Seat belt on, long sleeve shirt, gloves are good, don't forget to eat something.
Drive straight and watch the other caronly after the finish line.
Have fun.

Thanks for the advice! I was wondering about some of this stuff. My bud Bradley G is going to be there as well, and as most know, he has plenty of experience. Can't wait. :banana2:

[Zack]

DO NOT RUN WITH 1/4 Tank or less.

Go with 1/2 or more. Although its unlikely, you run the risk of draining the basket in the bottom of the tank at WOT for extended periods of time.

[tbone]

Some of you guys are giving me mph and some are giving me times. Some both, which is what I asked for. I think the best way to determine the winner of the $20 is who guesses the time to the hundreths of a second on my best run.

[DTUB]

14.39 / 96.75 :beer:

I just got back from running some 0-100's on 1/16 tank of fuel with no issues. Just FYI.

Zack, any adjustments to your tune you recommend for the track?
Thanks.

[tbone]

[freakstatus]

See my mods and best time. The 4.10's will be the difference. 14.38 @ 99mph.:D Have fun.

[TFB]

14's are the new 12's. :D

Not for me... OK so my only 1/8 mi runs so far would have netted approx a 13.1, I'll get there...

I'd agree with that, I ran with approx 3/4 tank but I'm used to my T-Bird that falls on it's face at the 60' with anything less than 1/2 tank...
