I would like to say thank you for all that voted this month, even if it was not for me. Let this be a lesion to some of you. You try, you fail and you try again. Do not give up upon the first failure, go again and again until you accomplish your goal.

Sometimes it means only jumping in when you know you have a chance, other times you can do your best even against the odds. Never give up on anything and be ready to face rejection, but you must keep you head up, brush off the dust and go at it again.

Not just with all things Marauder related, but life in general. Sometimes the best help I have ever gotten from Zack was when he didn't help. "Use google" was a common one. Yet he would still check up on me the next day asking how things have went. He kept me going even when I failed or feared the outcome. What does Zack have to do with this? I would have never met him if it wasn't for the Marauder, especially this website.

I just want to say thank you to all. Also, I decided to change my whole view on "who drives their car and who looks at it." The only Marauder I need to be concerned about is mine. I'm enjoying mine to the full extent, are you?

DTR + 4.10's + Eaton swap = Wreeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom

Congratulations.

Assuming the Factory crank HP is accurate the drive train drag is 60HP. It is not a % but a static figure at a given RPM. If you have a 1,000,000 crank HP engine our drive train will not require 11% or 110,000 HP.

734 crank HP drinks coolant.;)

Congratulations Dom! Keep on keeping on!:banana2:

Go Dom, congrats to you.

[Motorhead350]

Thanks guys. Here's the 671 hp.

I made 507rwhp upon the most recent build up. A year later Zack told me the dyno my car was tuned on was 11% off. So it made 562rwhp and that translates to 671 at the crank.

These numbers might be off, but I gotta admit it makes me feel good. I would like another dyno run again sometime with fresh plugs to get the actual numbers. Maybe I have 600rwhp! Probably not.

[68MercuryM250]

Well Done!!! Congrats!!! Thank you for being an asset to the MM site. I continue to learn about these rigs daily even though this is my 4th Panther, The MM bug has bitten me........in a year or so when my DTR is no longer my DD it will be a playground for modding. Maybe I will have learned enough to jump in. Thank you for your contributions!

DOM, 600HP? that's just sick!!! I love it!
