    Mid to upper 13's are relatively easy with a tune and bolt ons. You want get lower, it's gonna start costing some bucks. Like Bajno Mathews used to say, "Speed costs money, kid. How fast you wanna go?"

    As mentioned by others, mid to LT headers and 2 1/2" exhaust with high flow cats, a converter, prolly a line-lok and drag radials to help launch, and Cobra cams would be a benefit as well. PM 03mmmonroe, he's running 13.4s and can give you more info.

    IMO, best bang for the buck if you want to start cranking low ETs is to go S/C.

    I with Rex, for low 13's go the eaton swap route. in the end it will be the cheapest route.

    I'm also curious about this. And in tune, question... what are the drawbacks of UDPs, specifically if you already have 4.10s?

    There are no drawbacks. 4.10 will take away 1mpg but the udp will gain that back. For some marauders a tuner is needed to bump the idle for the udp

    I was a very rare case with UDPs, so far as I can tell, I had all sorts of belt length issues and they kept becoming noisy, chirpy pieces of crap. It could be any number of problems though, as like I said, haven't seen many people at all cite the same problems I had.

    Headers, a good dyno tune, race gas tune, smaller rear tires, every engine bolt-on you can get your hands on and run in ice cold temps.
    Check my garage link in my sig for my mods. With a smaller rear tire, race gas tune, and some colder temps, I'm predicting I can run at least a 13.3 and break 100mph. I was hoping to try this until I got stuck with a tank of bad gas recently.

    Sparta Performance. You'll have them within days and his price is hard to beat.

    None, the engine will spool up faster, and you'll pick up 8-10 rwhp. You'll just have to bump up the idle 200 RPM to compensate for the slower turning alternator. Also the crank bolt is a TTY bolt which means its a one time use bolt. For $15 I picked up a ARP crank bolt and I never had to worry about stretching or snapping it.

    Dag, 13.3 with all your mods. I did 14.001 @99 with jlt, Zach tune, 4.10s and regular tires. If I put smaller tires on I'd do say 13.7s maybe.

    Its not as easy as you guys think! Look at the time slip page and check the NA cars. Only two have gone faster than 13.51. Cruzetaker went 13.25 with a wild Lidio tune and 100 octane fuel. 03 monroe just went 13.4 at SSHS shootout last month. You can do a SC cheaper than beating you your wallet to death trying to stay NA! Look for the 12 second NA thread and do some reading. It is all in that thread!

    • “Cruztaker” sets N/A Marauder 1/4 mile record at 13.270 @ 103.21 (23 October 2004, Mason-Dixon Dragway, MD) & also gets Best Burnout trophy.

    Temps were in the low 50s and Barry would ice down the intake with a 10 pound bag of ice after each run. As I recall, he pulled the driver headlight out as well. I gotta find that video somewhere.
