hahaha newb. j/k this question get asked about once a week. start with 4.10 gears, a cold air kit, and def a tune. it will drive like a completely different car. or if you got about six grand laying around you can supercharge it.

410 gears SCT tunning is a good place to start, call me any time I will be glad to answer all your questions.

Welcome aboard! All you ask for is here with the click of your mouse. You will need to decide what direction you want to go, NA or FI. Street only use or are you going to the track? How much money do you want to spend? It can get pricey. Take your time and enjoy.

Welcome to the Collective. Resistance to moding is futile, you will be assimilated.

I've had my MM for over a year now. I just got a tune from DR a couple weeks ago and wondered why I ever waited so long. That really wakes up the engine. I also just put on control arms. It's like I have a new car.

Yeah, I kicked myself black and blue for waiting so long before purchasing a tuen with Xcalibrator2. Perfect mod for us non-gearheads.

Welcome to the site. Get your reading glasses and a lot of your favorite brew and start searching. You will find complete, I mean complete discussions of every facet of moding your MM already here. Go to the meets BDJim is a great guide and you will see every conceivable mod. Maybe even get a drive or at least a ride to help you get more info. Also I stop on the way home often in an attempt to follow Defyant's advise. :rolleyes: Dennis

weather or not you need 410's is a matter of preferance....

how much power - gas mileage....

If you go with a superchager, esspecailly if its a centrifical supercharger you don't need the 410's... unless you wanna drop anothe .5 second of your drag time...

If this is a daily driver or a highway cruiser I personally wouldn't suggest the 410s....

The 410s can also making driving in snow much harder to control... tires will wana break loose for stop lights etc... much easier...

I live in North East Pa (Wilkes-Barre/Scarnton area) and I went with a Centrifical Supercharger and stock gear ratio... So Im bias to that but I love...

The centrifical supercharge is more even power throughout the entire power range and rpm range of teh car... a Screw type such a Trilogy has alot more power off the line... If you gonna drag that helps alot....

So... how do you plan to drive.... the is first most important question when considering spending $6000 on a supercharger system....

tukid, just give Dennis a call. He can answer any of your concerns about doing the job right. Better yet, take a road trip to JAX and have him do the whole thing for you. ;)
