With your suspension upgrades and freshly built rear end, why did you just clutch drop that SOB from 5k? o_O

Badass man. I watched everyday and saw most of your runs. Was super jealous. Still fighting like hell to get mine done for next year. Everyone I know that has done it all say the same thing. Its hell but at the end of the week you would do it all over again.

Here is a couple pics of the packing job in the trunk of ours. Slicks are 28x10s.

In the back seat we had the ez up, fold out chairs, tools, clothes and helmets. Then a small cooler up front for drinks.

Very cool. Thanks for the post man

You're on a stock Marauder bottom end right?

Still the original engine with 97k miles, just an eaton on top making 8psi and some LT headers down low

With your suspension upgrades and freshly built rear end, why did you just clutch drop that SOB from 5k? o_O

I was dropping the clutch between 5 and 5500rpm and still was bogging off the line, I don't think I made enough to spin 28x10 slicks at the pressures I had. When we experimented and put them up to 24psi I roasted them through second gear and into third.

Its hell but at the end of the week you would do it all over again.

I was thinking about this the other night, probably not for a few years but I would certainly do it again. As of right now I think I'd put a vortech on the M5 and take that just to be really left field again.

Absolutely great thread!

Looks like you had a good time. I’d love to do this one year.
