After months of searching for the one. I've finally got it, a 2004 Silver Birch Metallic Marauder complete with the moonroof and I'm in love with it already. Problem is, I don't know what to do first with it. Any suggestions??? Pics coming soon..

Decide if you want to stay n/a or go supercharged(also centrifugal or roots) then get your supporting mods. just my opinion but see below
1) a tune will do wonders for your car contact Lidio or Dennis. For anything more than simple bolt on's get a dyno tune
2) look into 4.10's works good for n/a and centrifugal. With a roots stay with the oem 3.55 as torque will not be a problem.
3) mufflers will make it sound better and long tube headers will offer some N/A performance but they really shine with superchargers.
4) get a supercharger with such small displacement our engines need boost. Look into Trilogy(roots) and Dennis(centrifugal) if you want to buy a kit. You can also piece together and Eaton kit(roots) pm Zack and Impalaslayer

Thanks MuscleMerc, Breeze, and NTD, I'll look into those suggestions with haste. I would love a supercharger that's can be driven on the street and not just on the track..

I went with the Reinhart Vortek... Lots of other mods... S/C is very linear. Just don't stomp on it off the line ...feed it, it'll hook up like heck!!! Have fun & good luck with your new girl.

Dude - you rock. I have the same combo and it took me 11 months to find. Start with a tune, 4.10 gears and a cold air intake. The difference will be awesome!

Are you coming down to Bert's 50s Diner in Mechanicsville today to meet the gang? Weather is supposed to dry out later this morning. Weather is looking better for this afternoon.
