Here is signature number 7 Tom Adair's 2003 Black Marauder, first of this is by far the best to date install I have done. I had all his blower parts and coil covers and water inlet pipe done in Black Silver Vain, I had the whole transmission rebuilt added the new custom transmission cooler and lines, along with a fuel pressure Gauge and Boost Gauge, I also install the new Passport Solo S 2 for him, I finished the cars Tuning Yesterday, and the car made 442 RWHP and 381.3 RWTQ now when you look at the AF this car is a tad Fat I could have cleaned this up some and made more RWHP, but I feel this is enough on a stock bottom end plus he lives in NC where it is a lot colder there than Jacksonville Florida, the car was tuned with the new SCT tuning its a breeze to use and very user friendly, I took the Marauders stock 355 gears and installed them in his wife's immaculate 97 4.6 T Bird along with a set of Denso IT 20's and a 180 Stat and SCT tuning we firmed the shifts up removed the top speed limiter and gave this car a health shot of HP gain, last night I took Tom and his wife out to dinner so my self and my Girlfriend and Tom and his wife are coming back from steak and Lobster across the Buckman bridge here in Jacksonville, and were running about 65 MPH and along comes a LS1 Firechicken beside us and he is goosing the gas rocking back and forth so Sheila says Tom get him, so Tom punches the Marauder and it launches and in a heart beat the car is doing 115 and the Firechicken is n the rear view mirror Tom says Holly @@@###!!!&&& he lets off the Bird comes along side and the owner and a passenger role the window down and shout man what is in that car, so this made Toms night.

That's it boys, FRY those stinkin' chickens and a gang of Camaro's too while ur at it!!
Large cars that can RUN are definitely a topic of terror for "small car" syndrome.

I am curently doing Big Mercs car, I have had it for over 8 weeks, the reason why it has been here so long is he wanted to install Billet oil pump gears, and they went on back order then if you install those you should do the tigger wheel as well, which requires a speacial Crank gear, needless to say I have the whole drive train out of the car I had his trans done and I had his valve covers front timing cover and alternator and watter cross over pipe done just as Toms, in silver vain. I also loaned Stephen a truck to drive while he waits, so some times delays happen but when he gets the car back it will be awsome.

Wow- What a fast two days--- First Kathy and I want to thank Dennis for what he has done for my MM and his and Shelia's hospitality.
Arrived Friday morn and turned over T-Bird to Dennis -immediately goes into Stage 1 action on it==and then gives us his Blue MM to have arround town cause my MM is not ready till Sat ... Another WOW! Can't beat that kind of graciousiness(sp)..
So off we go in his Blue MM---BTW-- That car is very fast too.......
And of course the Friday nite adventure--..well Dennis has already spoke of those events..The WOW's are building up--That Firechicken run was so coooooolllll--you had to be there!!!!
Sat. came and the moment I've waited which seems forever--
(my dream for more years than I care to say) arrived and I once again take delivery for the third time of my MM --This time --with meaning!!
We arrived home shortly after all day drive and all went smoothly---well of course-- on that long drive home--you had to know someone wanted to "play" --
and of course I "had" to oblige, except I didn't know it was gonna be ,,Oh yes --a Bolt of Lighting...struts up next to me on
I-95 at 80 MPH..looks over and indicates he's (sorry BDJ) Big Dog..
so wife trailing behind raidios' to me ---go ahead--so the Lighting cracks and takes off and at 120MPH he looks over and I'm right there looking over and waving bye--then he is seeing my rear lights...afterways he drops back and shows the MM respect by signalling every traffic move ...another jaws drops!!
Finally--I cannot say it enough how well The new S/C performs and how the install looks and sounds---That expecially--- as mine in more secretive than norm --which I like( It's a much quiter whistle)--for more jaw droppings I'm sure---I could not be more pleased with every thing Dennis has done
If your on the fence post--- or thinking about it-- put your money on Dennis--I've already spoken in another thread as to why--this only proves it even more---There is more of course--but that needs to be in other threads--
Oh one final Oh Yeah!! This is, as Dennis stated on the post headline--My Christmas Present --- and I'll only say --my man Dennis this morning looked /and resembled a very close Santa-- which makes it a special omen to us---
