What to do next?

[jmsa540]

Guys, these are the following mods done so far to my car:

'03 300A Marauder, 91K miles, flowmaster 40 series mufflers, 2nd cats deleted, HID foglights, SilverStar Ultra's headlights, goodyear gatorback belt, K&N FIPK, scangauge II, spoiler.

I would like to start doing some mods to her, where should I start? I do need to get some tires soon.

The best first mod is an xcal 4 and a tune from Marty at Mo,s speed shop. Call him and talk to him he is a great guy. From there it depends on how much you want to spend. How far do you want to go?

[Cabotwick]

Most people are gonna say, S/C AND TUNE!!!

True, how about some simple bolt ons first, what about some suspension work? what control arms do yall recommend or anything else?

[fastblackmerc]

Metco rear control arms, Metco Watts link, Addco front & rear sway bars.

[fastblackmerc]

Upgrade the front brakes.....

[jmsa540]

Awesome, thanks guys!

[Turbov6Bryan]

Put 4:10 gears in it, buy a tune.

Do the corvette cheap 600.00 brake upgrade that fits under our stock wheels

I would do suspension when the blower fairy comes to the garage.

Powder coat valve covers and detail engine bay

That works, 100 shot, wet system.

copper core spark plugs, one or two ranges cooler, couple with Marty's tune, 4:10 gears and a 3500 stall speed converter and you are in the twelve's.

After that a set of headers and exhaust pipes. Getting pricey now.

Nano nitrous. Higher pressure CO2 on top of NOS. you will empty the entire bottle and. Once empty it goes rich

My car has a Trilogy, and larger exhaust from the cats back, nothing else is needed in my opinion. Just giving that perspective.

Gears and control arms. It will feel a half ton lighter.

[stevengerard]

Upgrade the front brakes.....

+1

It certainly doesn't do much for the ego but it does a lot for the car

Big Block Chevy!!!

[jmsa540]

Anyone have the links to those recommended control arms and other suspension stuff?

[RubberCtyRauder]

Metco link is in vendor section, type in Google Addco and boom, they also sell on ebay and are usually a little cheaper

[jmsa540]

So get addco sway bar and metco control arms? Any other brands I should look at?

[RubberCtyRauder]

there is Heinous rear arms thru ADTR.NET or CHE arms and watts thru Sparta plerformance on the vendor section. its personal preference

[jmsa540]

Ok, thanks guys. What exactly do these things do?

[guspech750]

Anything other than stock is better.

Or these stock ones

Upgrading the upper and lower rear control arms, sway bars and Watt link will make your MM handle like it's on rails.

Nice, thanks Jim!

[jmsa540]

Jim, what brand are those in the pic?

Thank you.

Billet control arms take ALL the slack and play out of the pivot points between the archaic solid axle and the 4400lb brick suspended above it. The steering will be NOTICEABLY sharper and more responsive. The car won't feel disconnected from the road and if you have a tuner, upshifts will be instant and occasionally you'll chirp the tires on the right surfaces. All the play and movement from rubber bushings and thin stamped steel will be removed. These were from ADTR and are the Heinous arms. The receipt says Metco however.
