4.30's .. Pushed the black beast to the limit

[djcrook73]

With these gears, I wondered if the car would run out of rpm before real estate on the speedometer , so I decided to find out. I did not detect any serious driveline vibration on the run and she held together.. Smart? Not at all! But I had to know. I have seen breakdowns of rpm with different gears at different speeds, but thought seeing it live would would be informative for some. Or informative to the fact that I'm a dumbass!

Wow I don't know what to say but I hope you did upgrade your driveshaft.

[Turbov6Bryan]

Nice! Now we need a zero to eighty test. I'd like to see what mph it shifts at when your at WOT

[solo5057]

[jmsa540]

You know when I played with my 94 LT1 Caprice I went 3:73's and wished I went 4:10's now with my Marauder I went 4:10's and wish I went 4:30's. One is never really happy,is he.

good idea Bryan, I just put it away for the winter , but if I take it out before spring consider it done.. Unfortunately, I love beating on this car it's hard not to be an ass in it sometimes! She drifts pretty Nice from a standstill or a slow roll

best cheap thrill ride you've ever stumbled onto, huh? ;)
you should feel the temptation while driving a boosted version :eek:

[crouse]

I have 4.10's and at about 125 my drive shaft shook enough to take out the pinion bearing.

[Blown3.8]

What are your mods? Something doesn't add up.

Nevermind change I made didnt take.

Think you might have been overdriving your headlights just a bit?

[Marauderjack]

I cannot believe ya did this on busy roads but more crazy is ya did it at NIGHT!!:eek::shake:

Completely irresponsible. That's how you make dead people out of innocent folks.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I think that size gear is gross for those speeds. Riding in C6/C7s vettes really makes you appreciate the power to weight ratio they have, allowing the car to get 30mpg and without breaking a sweat with the 3.42 gears.

[Bad_S55]

What'd you pay for that converter if you don't mind my askin'?

[djcrook73]

I agree with you. it was 2 am and traffic was light. Doesn't make it any better, but I do my fooling around with as few cars on the road as possible. I'm sure anyone here has wanted to see what their car would do, but it was not very smart.

These gears make for Good acceleration on the street but yeah, if the car legitimately made more power I would step the ratio down. It's good for a high speed blast on the highway here and there but not for long distance at all.

The original owner did all the modifications before I bought it from him. He said he paid a grand for the converter. The car had no full 4th gear when I bought it from him I had a transmission guy fix it

it is easily by far the most fun car of my own that I have ever owned and I think I probably take the title for a cheapest bought running driving Marauder ever! The four barrel sounds great on my 455 powered cars but they don't go fast like this
