    First trip with the marauder

    Stock Marauder, tune from Marty, k&n intake setup, and a 2.5 inch x pipe in place of the stock tiny one, all factory cats and mufflers etc. Had a trunk full of tools, a jack and the spare. Just as I do every day. I don't play the weight game.

    14.73 @ 96.09 was the best run of the night once I pulled 2 degrees of wot timing for some odd reason...honestly I guessed 14.50s before I ran, but doesn't it always work that way?


    I was trying to avoid any gear in this car but boy does it need it. I shifted into third right before the traps. Awful. I'm, just going to put 4.10s in it. Especially since I bought the car with 255 tires on the rear already.

    Will update when I go back with the gears.

    Atco. DA was 84 ft where I ran:
    2.218
    6.303
    9.605 @ 75.38
    12.382
    14.74 @ 95.81
    (Edited because last posted time was the wrong slip)


    . Best run was -120ft so the couple degrees timing seems to have done very little.

    2.247
    6.330
    9.595 @ 75.65
    12.388
    14.739 @ 96.09

    Had a couple people come up to me and ask about the car. I kept telling them it's just stock and they didn't seem to believe me. I just laughed because it's really not special. Looked good doing it tho.

    It was a good night tho. Helped my buddy with his first time at the track, and ran against my best friend with his "new" stock 1978 corvette. When everyone runs and no one breaks, it's a good night.

    Nice run!
    Lost my 1/4 mile track, city bought the land

    If you barely click the second lights, you might get a better 60' time. Try it

    Do your rolling burnout up away from the burnout box, this way you don't collect other rubber pieces when you pull up to the light
    Not a rolling burnout past the lights, just make sure your way past others burnouts

    Let us know your next trip, sounds fun

    The way my exhaust is set up. I could just buy a set of headers and fit them right to my existing system without having to buy anything else. The car definetly needs gear. So now I'm at a decision point. $1300 for some gear and headers, or what $2800+ for an Eaton swap?

    Violation because I didn't know about it (So that I could be there to see the runs).

    Sorry brother didn't think about it. I will be going again later this year I'm sure.




    Marty I priced based on the parts available on the forum, and eBay. Also accounting for selling my k&n intake, the upper/lower intake, throttle body, injectors etc for a couple hundred bucks to offset. What big costs am I missing?
