So are we on for the 28th at the Chicken place at 6pm? I'm going to try to make it out there with my "detuned" car. I forgot what it was like to have almost stock settings in the PCM. I'm going to try to be there by 5:30 or so. I'll be in the bar, drowning my sorrows because of the Bears' loss...

Big Joe, I get mine for my Chevelle in Downers Grove. They have 100 Cam Plus 2 racing fuel there. But I think that they stop selling in over the winter months, only to return in late spring. I have not been there for awhile, since the car is tucked away for the winter. A place in Naperville has...

stalling out I am having problems with cold starts also (32 degrees or less). Last year, it had no problems at all. Now, when cold, it won't run for more than a few seconds. It takes at least 4 times before it will stay running, but is fine after that (until the next cold start). I am chipped...

Well, it's time to sc the Marauder, but I need a favor from someone in the Chicago area that has the roots style one on their car. I've driven many centrifical style sc's, including a KB Marauder (Mac's car, before he owned it), but have never driven a roots one. I'd like to drive/ride in one...

slicks Sarge, How much air were you running in the slicks? What brand were they? Before you had the car, Bill called me, because he was having trouble hooking up with his MT slicks. I thought that he was running to low of air in them (I think that he was at 12 to 15 lbs). I told him that's...

TTA, My Marauder was the first Ford that I've ever had also. I have to admit that I'm disapointed with the car in general. Until I modifed it, it wasn't close to my Impala SS's ('95 and '96). In stock form, the Impala blows it away (IMHO). The unfortunate thing is, to get the car to perform the...

It might have been me, going home from Motorola or Atmel. Wags

Well, I'm back......with no car.....it was nice, but too many mismatches of parts. I was told it was a replacement block under warranty, installed in 1971. Well, it was a 427 that was restamped with the matching VIN #, but they didn't change the other #'s that pointed to the 427 block, not the...

tire wear Maybe I'm just lucky with my alignment, but with over 20K on mine, my tires are wearing very evenly (but I did have snow tires on from Dec. through May). I've had no problems with wear or alignment, many other things, but not that. I agree with Mac, I'm surprised that the dealer...

Wish me luck! I finally got a free weekend, and I'm flying out to look at an LS6 Chevelle. It better be what the owner says that it is, or I will be REAL PO'ed. I sold the '55 and the 502 motor to get some more funds for it, and have been looking for a TRUE LS6 (with buildsheet) for quite...

Hey guys, if you're thinking of getting snow tires for your car, you can't beat this price. I bought mine last fall, and paid $589 (from TireRack). The Alpins are really good in the snow, and give your car that "cop car" look. I think that getting these is a must, if you are going to drive...

Lemont Vic is right, the cruise night in Lemont is one of the better ones in the area. I went there a few times last year with the Chevelle, and once with the Marauder. The Marauder drew more attention than my Chevelle! Last year, there were 150 to 200 cars there every week. Will try to make it...

picture There was a picture of my car with the winter package from TireRack in the photo gallery from last winter. I think that it is still there.... They fit fine, and worked very well in the snow. Wags

no NHRA I was going to vote in the poll, but there is no NHRA, just IHRA. :( If there was, that would be my vote! :D Wags

89lxbill is correct. And our motor is not the Cobra motor. The Cobra is an iron block with alum. heads, with more aggressive cam lobes. It also has a roots style blower (8lbs. of boost), for a rating of 390hp. I've had solid lifters on a motor for years (not a DOC though), and although it's not...

I went with the same company that I had my Impala one with. I paid $1200 for that one, and had over $6000 in repairs done over the life of the coverage. (whole rear end, heads, water pump, seat frame, ect.) No problems ever with claims. The dealer got paid directly from the warranty company. I...

races lost I lost to an Impala SS (but it was my SS) when I first got the Marauder, before it broke in. With the mods to the Marauder, it will beat a stock SS consistantly. I also got killed by a '68 Chevelle SS (but it was my SS). My Chevelle beat the Marauder by more than 1.7 sec. (with the...

location If you haven't removed the knock off plate on the unit for a chip yet, the rev number should be on there. Just look under the dash, on the front of the computer. There should be a sticker that lists which one you have. It was on mine (FDH2). Wags

I was going to be able to make it, but I'm going to Joliet for the race. The only problem is that we are guests of Jeff Gordon. I'll step on his foot when I meet him, and crush his shifting hand. I even had the Chevelle all detailed and ready to go. This will be the last two that I have missed...

LL3, I think my buddy said that we were in section 401 also. I think row 50 something. I don't remember. I'll find out for sure. It should be alot of fun. Look for the Marauder. It will be there somewhere! Wags
