Just want to say what's up to everyone here. Quick question, I have a black MM 300a stock right now. I don't have track ambitions I just want to give it some extra pep. What are mod that I can do for this result?

[sabtaj1]

I would say the best bang for the buck on an all stock car is an xcal 2/ chip with a tune from one of our supporting vendors. I am not gonna say which one that choice is up to you. It make a big difference all around! And welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site.

1st - I'd go with a tune

2nd - 4.10 gears

What they said Brutha ^^^

What about changing the CAI?

[sabtaj1]

You can do that to but OMG the chip is the easiest by far and makes the biggest difference. 4.10 gears are excellent to. You can get a JLT intake for not too much $ but definately get the chip. Its a whole new car. Shifting is so much more performance oriantated.

Welcome !
First should be the xcal 2 chip, properly tuned by one of the supporting vendor. Installation is very easy. Difference with stock is - positively - incredible.

Depending on your budjet: 410 rear gears, Cold air intake & A Performance tune .

Welcome and have a good time! These guys are all right with the advice. Take your time and you will have some fun.

Tune, tune tune! Marauders are detuned from the factory. you will get some extra horses and you will love the the way it shifts after you load the tune.

GET A TUNE(Lidio or Reinhart) THEN 4.10 GEARS

[Richy04]

Tune Baby Tune!!! Lidio in Michigan or Dennis Rheinhart in Florida both are supporting vendors and can be found in the venders section on the main page.. Good Luck and welcome aboard..

pretty much the same as others have said, but a bit diff........I'd do:
1.chip/tune
2. lower stat
3. gears-410
4. colder plugs.

this all done first , considered to be "stage I" in the earlier days( 5years ago), and that will keep you suited for awhile---all around I'd say about $800-900, well it was back then.....at least you have a list of items to choose from for starters........go get something ....for sure......you won't regret it at all!!!

[Dre]

Thanks, for everyone input. I have go and look into it now.

Welcome!

Normally I suggest, for other cars, a bunch of upgrades that will allow you to bring the performance levels up to fantastic levels, but with the Marauder you all ready have them.

You might like to read up on the high stall torque converter and how to use it. Lots of extra power right there, you already have it so it is free. Upgrades are also popular and nothing short of a Super Charger gives you as much power as a proper launch.
