12's N/A

The stock internals can be spun to 7500rpm's all day long.

The only reason no one does is because the cams and intake run out of steam long before that.

Back in 03, I used to shift my car at 7000 rpm's with my Vortech.

The car kept making power at that rpm, so why the hell not!

Never blew up :beer:

Stevie Wonder has a drivers license and can drive a car, does that make it a good idea? :lol: I don't feel very comfortable at 7,000 rpms and above. The odds of bad things happening increase dramatically. Going for the report post button.

To all you 12 second N/A watanabees. Stop using your calculators and get on the track. Temperatures will be ripe in the next 30 days and will offer a good window of opportunity. Who is going to be the first. Start a poll and make it:censor:interesting.

I need almost 3K and a tuner. So my run will most likely be made at the end of year.

When I get home Ill scan my time slips from the different weather runs.

OK, not me! I will stay below 6k. I dont have a girdle and I like to keep my internal engine parts inside the block.

What intake would feed the higher rpms? I know you have said the gt cams are the cams to get.

So I will stay safe, just the way I like it:beer:

I spent too friggin much money on the car, I dont want to drop another 5-10k on a motor. I know my limits, cash and reality wise. I would love to get into this race and mod the hell out of my car and be the first in the 12's, but I dont have the coin and I dont have it in me to risk the kind of damage that could come with it.
 
His car has more behind it. His and mine are almost identical, except he has 4:10's and a different tune. With my drag radials and a 25+MPH headwind he ran that 13.1, With 55* temps, DR's, and stock gear my car ran 12.9 at 107. He will be in the 12's in a couple months even if i have to pull him with mine and a chain!:lol:

I have seen several combinations on here that look like they are ready to go 12s N/A but they are just missing a couple of pieces. I saw one guy on here ran a 13.3 in one of these 12s threads, and he had stock manifolds, and 3.55 gears. longtubes and 4.10s with a retune would certainly push him through. a few guys look like they could make it through with those NAZ manifolds. It looks like these guys arent going to have to break the bank too much worse than they already have, if they just finish getting what they need they are close.

There is no doubt in my mind that a FULL BOLT ON marauder that is still streetable can run high 12s on the motor. I ran mid 13s with an 02, stock bottom end 2 valve in an LX sport, with patriot heads, comp cam 270Hs, stock manifolds, front 2 cats, 2.5 inch exhaust from the front cats to the rears, with a dynotech driveshaft, 4.10 gears, and a mailorder chip that wasnt quite right. If the LX sport will do that missing all those boltons, a marauder certainly could run high 12s.
 
I recently just ran a 13.54@99.99MPH and that was with full interior and a half a tank of gas, car was weighing in at 4,000lbs with me in it. I would say that this leaves a very good chance for you guys with the 4 valve to break a 12 sec NA run. Best of wishes i want to see someone do it.
