Are these still available? Looking for something similar to the Superchips handheld tuner that came with the private sale of my current 2005 Mustang GT. Has two preloaded tunes, one for 87 octane and one for 93 octane. It asks for axle ratio, transmission, CAI, etc.
I see K&N CAIs for the Marauder all over eBay - my 'stang has one also. I see where Mo's Speed Shop is highly recommended here, he's not terribly far away either as I'm considering changing the diff gears to 4:10 too.

preloaded tunes are garbage, get one of Marty's tunes at MO's..It was made for a Marauder from a Marauder not a recycled mustang tune. marauders need 91 or 93, Marty can provide that.

Thanks for the reply. Waiting for my retirement income to fully materialize later this summer - will contact Mo's Speed Shop at that time to see if they're interested. Put NC plate on car yesterday and checked to make sure everything was in working order. Previous owner stated he NEVER used the CD changer in the trunk - it works.
Looking at the 'sticky throttle' (on initial tip in) this morning. Change dispenser contained coins, including pennies jammed into the dime dispenser - they were carefully dug out! Found the receipt where previous owner installed new tires shortly after buying car from the original owner back in 2006.
St. Thomas sticker stated the car was destined for one dealer but the key ring and a business card with the owner's manual names another close by dealer. No other 'surprises' so far.

Can't go wrong with a tune from Mo's.

What they said^^^ about Mo's. Plus, Marty is a super-nice guy.
Looking at the 'sticky throttle' (on initial tip in) this morning. Get a can of throttle-body cleaner that says "safe for coated throttle bodies" (not carb cleaner). Likely there's a little ridge of gummy black stuff right at the edge of the butterflies. Hold the throttle open by hand and spray it in there and use a toothbrush or similar to clean it out.
Another vote for Marty from me. When I needed help or had questions I felt as if I was his only customer. He never leaves you hanging. I can't wait for the nicer weather so I can drive my car again, its been parked since November.

Mo’s built my car and it makes me moist every time I hit the go pedal.

Parker, you only get moist? You are not hitting the pedal hard enough. MO's tune makes me "wet".

Mo's it will be - seems pretty unanimous around here plus I'm not far away.

The binding appears to be coming from the throttle pedal bushing. I sprayed it at both ends while in the car with partial success - I may have to remove the assembly to get at it more effectively. I was fully expecting a 'throttle by wire' setup like on my Mustang - much new tech going into '05.

I’m a squirter “ok”! I was trying to be politically correct. And frankly I’m a little embarrassed that I go through a pack of depends every weekend since upgrading the car.

240K miles here. I've had to clean my throttle body about oh...10 times. I use diesel fuel and a nylon gun brush followed by rags. I really doubt it's the bushing, but there's a first for everything.

After removing the pulley cover at the throttle body, I operated the linkage by hand and detected free movement over and over again. Operating the throttle pedal I detect some slight stickiness at the very beginning of travel - not a terribly scientific method I know.
