    Finally Ready to Start the Mods

    I ordered Dennis' driveshaft the other day and I have a set of 4:10's waiting at the dealer.

    I was gonna let my dealer pick up the T/C but I decided to order it from Dennis.

    My dealer was supposed to get Baer brakes for me as well, but he says that he can't see that there is a system available for the rear yet.

    I had intended to pass on the plugs, stat and chip from Dennis as I am expecting to be able to send my car to Vortech within a couple of months for them to do the supercharger. But Dennis tells me that he doesn't think anyone is going to go through the trouble to get a CARB # for this car due to the small number of kits that are likely to be sold in California.

    This really bummed me out! Dennis gave me the name of a person at Vortech to check this out with, but in the meantime I have decided to order the full Stage I package. Who knows, if I follow Dennis' advice and Sarge's example, I may decide I don't want a super charger. Mmmm....no.

    Anyway, I'll report here as the mods proceed. Comments and advice are welcome.

    Baer brakes

    The Baer website specifically states that they have systems available for the Marauder...I'm planning on installing a Baer claw system with red (or black) calipers when I do my mods.

    Do they only have the fronts available???

    They have front calipers and rotors avaialble. For the rear, they have rotors only (which can be slotted on request, but I do not believ they will cross drill the rears.
