    ^^^Lord knows when....trying to finish up the wiring the O2 sensors now and plumb the lines for P/S and fuel. After that I gotta get a starter and wire that up and then fire it up. Mostly little stuff at the moment, it adds up though haha.
    I'd like to get her fired up before spring.

    When I started this build, I set a goal of beating a stock marauder. I feel reasonably confident that I can reach that goal.
    But Bill your car would smoke mine, far from stock.
    I'll still run you, though.......haha

    It's just something a member on CVN who has a Marauder and used to have a MGM told me. He said that it's kinda the consensus over here on MM.net.

    Well duh! Of course more air flow is going to make more power. Mod motors can get expensive quick, but 2Vs are just a little cheaper.

    We spend nearly the same for bolt-ons, just the 4V seems to respond better to mods. Whats your mod list to run 14s?

    Cameron did Hitech stage 2 cams, and on a 2v you only need 2 on a 4v you'd twice as many. SW headers are cheaper for a 2v than 4v.

    I agree 4v does respond better. Cameron has a nice setup with the newly available SW headers and Hitech cam plus high stall TC and gears and upgraded fuel system - it's performing really well. I'm still in the 14's by 0.02 so uhh, wait till I get my SW headers and dynotune..

    14.9 for me was as simply as 3.73 gears, 80mm MAF, BOC tune, & underdrives. Everything else stock on my '01 P71. I think I spend just under $1500 on those mods & $2800 on the car with 77K miles.....its no Marauder, but it holds its own.

    Can't argue with that!
    I spent a GRAND on a set of cams wayyy back when.
    My head was reeling as I ordered those Crower cams.

    I mean in relativity to pushrod motors. Overhead cam motors cost more. And when you buy cams, you have to buy 4.
