High 13s

[376shovel]

2003 marauder. Completely stock. Just bought a k&n fipk and a 93 octane tune from MO'S. I am looking to keep stock gears and go 13.90s. in the future I will be getting a 2.5 inch x pipe and high flow cats to replace the stock setup.

Tell me what it took for you to go 13.90s at sea level.

[ctrlraven]

I went 13.72 with JLT intake, PHP intake spacer, 93 octane tune, 180 degree t-stat, NGK TR6IX plugs, GMS coil connectors, PI 3500 stall converter, deleted rear cats, flowmaster super 40 mufflers, stock gears and 255/50-16 drag radials. Ran a little less than half a tank of gas, pulled the spare out and pulled driver side headlight out. Track was 20 ft above sea level.

Before going 13.7x, my fastest was 14.35. Added the 3500 stall converter, drag radials and a tune from Zack is what helped drop more than half a second.

Video is of my 13.74 run. Later that day I ran 13.72.

After having my exhaust complete re-done from stock manifolds back, 4.10 gears, UDPs and dyno tune I went 13.63. Trans parameters were off in the tune and had converter issues. 150k on the motor as well.

Add 4.10 gears, 3000-3200 stall converter and you'll be there. Could also ask MartyO aka Mo what he would recommend as well. You'd need a 4.10 gear tune and adjustment for the higher stall converter also to take advantage of their benefit. Each car can react differently to mods, but most see around the same results.

[376shovel]

Thanks. Not going to do a converter or gears though.

[vkirkend]

gears + headers + tune and then ------maybe.

this will create a serious challenge toward reaching your goal.

I guess I'll have to run it go see where I'm at. This is my new daily driver. I have another car I use to race. I just wanted to know if anyone has done it with 3.55s on here yet

I have JLT intake, rear cat delete with MagnaFlow Mufflers, NGK TR6 Plugs and Marty 93 Tune and ran a 14.58 on factory wheels n tires. Next mods will be 4.10 gears and SW Headers. Hope to reach 13.90's. If not then 75shot to get Me in 13s.

Did you do runs before and after those changes? If so what results did u have?

No, I never ran it when the car was factory but I heard they run anywhere from 15.3-15.5 stock if I'm not correct?

My DTR runs mid 16's with mods, we tried to do a video, but the camera operator fell asleep just waiting for the burnout to happen.

[Bradley G]

That low 14 high 13's appears to be the threshold for our cars n/a.
This is subject to lots of variables, so you "see level" guys , take it easy! Lol
I never got into the 13's without FI, the best was 14.2@97.XX

Thanks for the info. What was done to your car when u ran that ET?

[sailsmen]

Chip, 4:10 Gears, Under Drive Pullies – 14.274 @ 97.05 MPH

+PI Torque Convertor – 13.74 @ 98.33

Temp/Humidity can add .75 to your best time.

DA of runs?

[yjmud]

The best I ran was 14.9 with just a k& n cold air and a slightly smaller tire
Without a gear and convertor it will be difficult forced induction will be needed

[sailsmen]

I believe Steve aka TripleTransAm has the fastest stock MM @14.56.

Well that's encouraging I figure with what I have planned it will probably be bottom 14s. Whatever. Not terrible for a DD

At the mercy of sounding like a complete weenie, " I had a head wind!" Lol

[babbage]

3.73, headers, converter, tune, cai, ported lower. = 13.8 for me

250 ft above sea level.

[Red Rum]

I got Kooks headers Kooks X-pipe with high flow cats and Borla Pro-XS mufflers. And JLT Cold air kit. A Accufab twin blade Throttle body. That I ordered new that is for a New Edge Mach 1 Mustang. Bolts on to our Mercury Marauder. No modification. I got a 93 octane tune for Mr. Martyo AKA Marty. Stock 355 gears. But before the track open up here In NYC area. I am going to get a converter from Marty. And big oil pan for the 4r70w. Put on a new filter and run royal purple. And royal purple in my rear end. I am leaving it 355. Going to get a set of Sparta Preformance upper and lowers. And the watts link. A set of Nitto Drag radials . And my car is about to hit 10k original miles. I have a serious custom made stereo system. That is heavy. But like my car is right now. I think my car run. In the mid to low 14's. With what I done now in mods. And the killer sweet Marty 93 octane tune. My car is totally a different car from all stock. Not only sounds sweet. It woke up the Cobra Motor. But once I do the rest of the parts. I will be happy with a 13 second pass. Before I get a Vortech Supercharger on her. Then we will see. What it will run. Oh and a good fuel system with a return line .

[RubberCtyRauder]

As info only, it is not a Cobra motor, much closer to a Mach 1 motor. A return fuel system isn't needed unless you plan on horsepower well over 600 rwhp which is close to 700 crank hp. and drag radials wont fit on stock rim width.

I have no idea - to date, I have been slower. Good stuff sir. I envy the fun you are enjoying.

You write great threads: solid mix of specifics in text with accompanying video.

[Mancillas1982]

I race anyone who wants to. I was doing a base hit to see what a dyno tune would do after I get it back from paint. It has 154k.
