For poops and chuckles (New 1/4 mile ET)

[ctrlraven]

So my previous best was 13.72 @ 99.76 with 3.55 gears on 255/50-16 drag radials (effective 3.89 gear).

Since then the only real mods I have done are Zack's 4.10 gear tune, 4.10 gears, CVPI MMC DS, full 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust from the stock manifolds back with 2 high flow cats and 265/50-18 Nitto street tires (effective 4.15 gear).

I plan on hitting the track in the next few weeks since it has been getting down in the low 50's/high 40's by sunset. I will make some runs on the street tires and the drag radials (effective 4.51 gear).

I'm hoping for 13.5x on street tires and possibly 13.4x on drag radials.

What would your guess be?

[MMarauder03]

Hmm... 13.480 @ 101.15.

[Blk Mamba]

13.42 @102.2/13.36 @102.7

Hey budd let me know when your going i would like to go with you and make a few passes..

13.6 @ 100.00mph The best was cruztaker at 13.25. He had a serious high octane tune! Other than that 13.51 has been the brick wall. Good luck and I hope you can plow thru the wall!:burnout:

13.640@99mph :D Which would prompt a seriously angry SB owner from Maryland.

Seriously I say 13.51@ 100mph

I plan on busting right through that wall.

I'd pull a Dave and throw on some FI. :lol:

[Blackened300a]

In all seriousness, Im hoping you pull a 13.3-13.4 and break the 100mph mark.
I plan on stepping up to the plate in November armed with a spaz intake, fresh pistons and a race gas tune.
Hopefully the economy improves or my GF wants to give me a gift of a full exhaust for my Birthday so I can really see what my full potential is. :)
Chances are Ill be putting myself in a hole and just going for the full header/exhaust combo sometime next year.
Then Im coming for you Joe Walsh!

[ctrlraven]

Don't forget the MSD 2-step launch control. Mine is on order.

Has anyone met "Maryland" and his 13.100@104.00 NA Marauder?

[boatmangc]

Holy crap do I need to learn how to drive!
It's a good thing I know how to make 'em shine.

Has anyone meet "Maryland" and his 13.100@104.00 NA Marauder? I honestly think that extra free flow on your new exhaust on really cold weather will get you to 100mph mark.

[LANDY]

It's a good thing I know how to make 'em shine.remember with your forged bottom end if you put a 2.8 pulley you can be close to the 500rwhp mark with no sweat

I should of been at the 100mph mark before but my limited slip was slipping which I'm surprised it held up for as long as it did after my runs. I can def. feel it pulling a lot harder on the top end now.

[AConvertedChevy]

One Dollar Bob, :lol:

how you like those tires Chris?

[ctrlraven]

Tires are good, thanks again! Haven't really pushed them yet or anything.

What are all your mods?
Zack's Tune
JLT RAI
NGK TR6IX plugs (1 stage colder)
180 T-stat
GMS coil connectors
Ford GT fuel pump
PHP intake spacer
PI 3500 triple disc converter
Stock exhaust manifolds
Full 2.5" mandrel bent ss from manifolds back with h-pipe
Aeros 2525
4.10 gears
CVPI MMC DS

I think that's all performance oriented stuff.

I'll be getting a dyno done on the 23rd to see the increase that my exhaust netted me.

my guess: 13.50

[FormulaMarauder]

I second the 13.5xx. I found greater times with the NGKTR6 than with the TR6ix. Not much, but changing the plugs at the track to the TR6 netted worth. And the track was getting hotter AND my engine was super toasty. So for the temperature of the track getting hotter, and my car soaked from 3 back to back laps and STILL got faster with plug swap.....Yeah, worth it. Pull your headlight and your filter for the runs. Cooler temps and direct flow will give you greater mph. Run the car dry, put in 7 gallons of 100+ octane with an aggressive race tune. You'll do better than 13.5xxx. Good luck.

You suggest these plugs even for a NA car?

[tbone]

13.576@101.05

Aren't you giving out a prize like I did?

[ctrlraven]

TR55 are stock gap plugs, TR6 are around .035-.038 I believe. I've had no issues with mine and another member of the forum suggested them to me since they are 1 step colder plugs.

Sure I'll give out a prize to who ever is closest to my fastest time, what that gift is will just have to wait. :lol:

And not for nothing, but I have CVPI 16" steelies with MT ET Streets. Love em. Hook fantastic.

I know it hasn't, it should be removed off the list.

[tbone]

I wish I could do that!

I've been ad advocate for getting the "no timeslip or video" times removed from the Timeslip page. I find it ironic that its called the Timeslips, yet; none is needed to post numbers.

I agree. I've got pics of my timeslips and video thanks to DOOM and SmokdMercRauder, just haven't posted them up yet. lol

I'd believe it. Full exhaust and Paul's HP "hogged" upper and polished lower.
This is the route I'm going..

Not with a stock converter. I wonder where the car is now.

Some people think just because you don't have a SC bolted on, you can run spray and still be considered "NA"

[Pops]

The car does exsist as I asked Pauls about it. As far as the times I have no idea.

Guy was anal, not foolish. No bottle listed in the for sale add. Pauls HP lists the $1200.00 mod as +18-25hp. You'll know it's real when I'm done with my NA Setup.. ;)

Besides there are a few MM's easily in the 12's with just spray and gears & tune.

Just because a bottle isn't listed doesn't mean it could of not been used.

There was not a bottle on the car.

You were the closest due to my torque converter lag/bog down. Ran 13.630 @ 100.49 mph.

[Pops]

I ran a 3200 converter to get to the 13.51. 93 octane tune and 4.10 gears. 26 inch tall tire. Needed 4.30 gears and a higher octane tune to go faster. I also have Pauls intake manifold on my car.
