Where do I start?

This is my first post. Been lurking for a while. Nice site. I'm expecting delivery of a 2003 Marauder any day now. Mint, 25,000 miles, silver. I'm a confirmed car nut with broad tastes and cars to match. I love the "Stealth" appeal of the Marauder and want to use it effectively. I may wind up doing some closed course track days with it. I'm not into 1/4 miles stuff, mostly road racing. Any suggestions as to where I start with the mods? I've made a few inquiries of supporting vendors on the forum - but no replies. Perhaps they were at the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kentucky</st1:place></st1:State> bash. Any help would be most appreciated. I'm in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Charleston</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">SC</st1:State></st1:place> area. Thanks.

Gordon.

Welcome.

There are only a couple of road racers on here. Some mods you may want to consider are Addco sway bars and Naake QA-1 shocks & coilovers along with a simple adjustment to the air suspension sensor to lower the rear.

Welcome, and I'd start with a JLT intake, bang for the buck is great, and that ram air sound can't be beat. And from there the sky's (wallet's) the limit!

Ditto on the sway bars,after market control arms (Metco or Zacks),an intake,K&N or JLT along with an X Cal tune from Lidio or Dennis Reinhart are good for starters,then upgraded front brakes,4.10 gears and a better driveshaft with a loop.
Son of a gun,same stuff I'm doing to mine,then in 2 years I'll see if i want to throw a Trilogy on it and repaint it.

Welcome!
It will pay huge dividends to check out other members mods before you perform them on your car.

SOME advice this forum will turn your car into a BEAST. :burnout:
It will make you modd like crazy.

I would suggest you do :
1. Intake
2. Pro Guard
3. Tune
4. 4:10s
5. KOOKS HEADERS EXHAUST

That is what I did and IT will blow your mind how much of a difference it all makes together. Do a little at a time….!
GOOD LUCK with your NEW baby !

First is a tune.

See the Supporting Vendors.

Several offer Tunes.

Then after that you have several different ways you can go.

CAI is one.
4.10 is another.
Headers and Exhaust a third.
or
You can go all out and Supercharge it and see how it was supposed to be.

Additional items abound and it just depends what you want in a very fast car.

Have fun

And welcome Aboard.
