I am wondering in my newly purchased Marauder has any modifications? I know that she has a K&N filtercharger on her when I got her. But I wonder what else.

Any way to know if the oil pressure gauge was changed to a real gauge?

On a cold start it should read 90-100psi, When warmed up it should read about 20psi at idle and 50psi during normal driving. If the gauge is stock then it will read 65psi all the time.

If it has a tune, you most likely will idle around 850 - 950 RPM's in drive.

Stock idle is around 650 RPM's.

What?

Maybe if you have underdrive pulleys, but definitely not that high if you dont.

The default tune I have from one of the vendors bumped idle speed up in the 800's, Zack. I bet it was designed for people with UD pullies (I didn't have them). I turned it back down to stock, which is something like 575, because such a high idle was unnecessary

My tune from Lidio has me idling around 575-600, in drive and foot on the brake... :confused:

Right... some other tunes don't retain the stock idle

Well I found it has the pro guard on it already and aluminum lower control arms. not sure of tops. but they look like the Metcos. So she has had some love.

How's it shift? Nice and firm = prolly tuned. Soft, and/or hunts at partial throttle = prolly stock.

Stock idle for some is near or less than 500.

Also check your tires.

And you can check to see what your idle is at certain speed, there is a chart somewhere that shows what speed goes with what idle roughly to determine what rear end ratio you have.
