Roll Bar & 3 in. Exhaust

[jflave]

Dropped my MM off at The Muffler Shop (Jeff Reinoehl) in Owings,Md. to have a roll bar installed & also going to go with a full 3in. exhaust system. Jeff is also going to make me a extra straight pipe so that i can take out the two Cats when i want (track) & use the Cats when i need them (NJ inspection). He is going to use V-bands so it should be easy to swap for me, i hope. Since iam adding weight with the bar iam going on a diet, sitting at 240lbs now going to shoot for 200lbs, maybe this will work for me, it's for my MM :)

What's the roll bar running you ? Sounds like some nice mods :)

I like the V-band swap setup... Debating on having my exhaust done locally and having the stock cut out and re v-banded so I can do the quick swap when I want quiet for road trips...

Look forward to results and pics!

Roll bars cars are streetable... 11.49 and below I think.

Roll cage, another subject.

Who actually drives an 11 second car though? I see your point. MOST people with a car that requires a bar to compete would probably not drive it. They are missing out.

not really if your buying it done. price looks not much more than was spent in 08' (according to receipts i received with my car)

git 'r' done :D

10.4 and NOT a daily driver. all though when the weather is nice it will be cruising the streets for sure:drive:

[jflave]

is this a typo, total cost with exhaust, or are you getting a full Cage?

RichNo typo, it's a bar going into the trunk & i want it done a certain way & iam willing to pay to have it done that way. Most people will not notice the difference but i do. :)

I know you do. Guys like you, me and the other three are a rare breed.

More fun for us.

What's the point of having it if you don't drive it?

Some people.... :shake:

I dont know about Chromoly....
but I once knew a girl named Molly who could suck the chrome.....
.......errrrr.......ohhhh..... never mind!

BTW: sounds like a badazz roll cage!!...:bows:

[merc]

This is my chromoly setup. Bars are not wielded to the truck but I need more padding. Driving it around town without a helmet can lead to a massive headache.

As long as your right foot works.

[merc]

And this is why you might need a bar. Things happen quickly and added protection is always good.

What triggered the accident if you don't mind me asking?

Let's call it a bad and costly day and leave it at that. :( I don't want to side track the thread with questions on how things happened. What I do want to express is the importance for safety equipment while racing. On March 30th I hope to make my return to the track. I am still learning the sport and it's ups and downs. I try not to look backwards. It's been a long two year journey with a large supporting cast. I thank you all for your assistance, you know who you are. Now let's get back to the discussion.

[Motorhead350]

Let's call it a bad and costly day and leave it at that. :(

I am sorry I asked.

[merc]

I am sorry I asked.

I had no intention to flame on you. It was a valid question considering I posted the picture without explanation. Every time I see a Marauder in a junk yard twisted and mangled I ask the same question. I guess I should change my aviator to reflect the new Silver Birch. But for now I would like to remember my first love.

[LANDY]

Lol hopefully it does it in the first pass. Tech already knows the car.

[jflave]

I have faith in you, a few 1/8 to set it up then your first pass 10.6 :)

[lji372]

all right guess i'll ask, why 3" and not 2 1/2"?

[Blown3.8]

all right guess i'll ask, why 3" and not 2 1/2"?

Already had 2.5. Looking to make moocho power.:)

[jflave]

Because size does matter, on the 30th I will know for sure. :)

[jflave]

Just got a call from Jeff at the muffler shop, the car should be done late monday. Looks like i be headed south on tuesday if all goes well it should be ready for Cecil on the 30th.:)

[lji372]

will either of you have power or time differences between the before and after from the 2 1/2 to 3". if that was the ONLY change

thx

[LANDY]

I a centrifugal heavy car like ours i wouldnt go bigger than a 2 1/2. Unless the car is stalled to hell or its being sprayed, it will be a dog out of the hole. CR has a lot to do with it also. Now a PD blower is a different story. My car breathes fine with a full mandrel bend 2 1/2 at 21psi. Bigger is not always better.

not looking to dump a bunch of dough to find out (yet)
maybe a little homework is in order.
2 1/2 is probably perfect since its basically a well preserved street car 99.9 percent of the time.

[jflave]

thxWill do, I'll post my ET after the 30th,two changes are added weight with the cage & opened the exhaust. Landy hisssss is on the list. :)

[lji372]

list what list, now there's a list and an A game.
what's going on around here?:lol:

here's to better (faster) times:beer:

[LANDY]

John did you guys ever change the pulley setup on the blower?

[LANDY]

Will do, I'll post my ET after the 30th,two changes are added weight with the cage & opened the exhaust. Landy hisssss is on the list. :)

Yeah i think he owns the land missile now.

[lji372]

Yeah i think he owns the land missile now.

and very fortunate to have it in the garage:D
a lot of blood sweat and tears went into it. i don't have the bloody fingers from building it, hats off to you guys who have the time and energy to do so:beer:
but i can hear a pin drop in my piggy bank:eek:

[jflave]

Jobn did you guys ever change the pulley setup on the blower?Yes Chris took care of it so we'll see how much boost it makes now. We want to see what we can do after a few track days to get the 60s down. Once we think its maxed out then we'll spray it that's why I did the 3in. Time will tell.

[LANDY]

The spray will love the 3". Put a higher stall converter on that thing. What rpm does yours flashes at?

[jflave]

I have a 3500 PI now & don't want to go much higher because i still like driving it on the street. Not 100 % sure where it flashes but it starts pushing through the brakes about 2500 rpm

[Blown3.8]

Got these pics from John to post for him. Hope its ready for this weekend.

Picked up the MM yesterday, Jeff at the Muffler Shop did a GREAT job, it looks good the bar & 3in exhaust. I will have someone post some Pics later. Jeff also called Justin at JPC Performance in Millersville, Md. who was willing to put it on his dyno between jobs as long as i could hang for a while,man his shop is busy at this time of the year. I didn't have my sct tuner with me (forgot it) so he did two pulls just to check the A/F & to see how close the tune was that Chris (Blown3.8) had made for my car. :2thumbs:What else has to be said 716 RWHP.:) THANKS Chris.

Dayuum! those are excellent numbers! ill be getting my 3" Exhaust installed this week , or next!:eek:

Cant wait to see this ride!

[SGT_MERC]

What cams are you running, what boost and are the heads worked?

[Blown3.8]

What cams are you running, what boost and are the heads worked?

GT40 cams and the heads are CNC'd from foxlake. The dyno saw 21psi. He ran 11.12 in the 1/4 and we were seeing 16psi there. I machined the peaks down on the blower pulley and put a tighter belt on. There are threads floating around on the mods.

[jflave]

GT supper car cams, 21 Lbs Boost. heads C&Ced by Fox Lake. Hit the Rev limiter there may be a little more in it, we will see Saturday. Didn't have my SCT with me so it was just to make sure the A/F was safe.

Tree'd you!:P

And I'm not sure why it limited at 6800 cause I'm pretty sure in the tune its set at 72 or 7400. I will check.

[Seneca]

Wow!! good numbers. :D

[LANDY]

Great number John! Was that on pump gas?

[Triple Threat]

And I'm not sure why it limited at 6800 cause I'm pretty sure in the tune its set at 72 or 7400. I will check.

The marauder PCM is hard wired at 6850 rpm.This is why i went to a Holley HP ECU system.

[jflave]

Great number John! Was that on pump gas?No Shell URT unleaded.

[SGT_MERC]

That is soooo sweet. I cant wait to get the final tune done on my car.

[LANDY]

No Shell URT unleaded.
I been reading up on this fuel and it seems to surpass the others for us street guys.
How much timing was in it?

[Blown3.8]

I been reading up on this fuel and it seems to surpass the others for us street guys.
How much timing was in it?

18 degrees at 6500.

What was the last HP number you have on yours?

[Blown3.8]

That is soooo sweet. I cant wait to get the final tune done on my car.

How is your's going?

[LANDY]

18 degrees at 6500.

What was the last HP number you have on yours? i havent dynoed it with new setup but i did correct the afr. Last time with the t-trim it made 569rwhp @18psi 6800rpm with 16* of timing on pump gas.

[LANDY]

Now with the ysi at 21 the strap burns perfect 13* of timing. 15* is too hot for pump gas.
I wonder how much timing i can get away with the URT fuel.

[SGT_MERC]

How is your's going?

It's been an interesting journey. I have to send the whipple out to be rebuilt.
