[marauder410]

What you guy thinking on these mods doing in few days to my marauder

[SC Cheesehead]

Good list to get your performance improved from N/A, stock. Also, start saving for your S/C. Ater that mod bug bites, you're gonna want one. ;)

You also may want totake a look at adding bigger sway bars, aftermarket control arms, and bigger brakes to complement the performance mods.

If you're going to get it dynoed, do a before and after run to get benchmarked for the improvemens you're doing.

[MOTOWN]

Sounds like a nice list of mods! post up your results

[rayjay]

+1 on the suspension modds. They make a huge difference in the way the car handles. SS braided brake lines are also a excellent mod.

If you get a tune there is no need for a dyno run unless you want to waste your money. With those mods you would probably be between 265-275 rwhp and 270-280 ft lbs tq.

Do you plan on having some big sound system to need a 250amp alternator?

[Blackened300a]

This shop that's putting the car on the dyno, do they also tune? The mods are a step in the right direction. Im just concerned with the mail order tune you are using.

I'll second that..... You may have more problems with the tune than without. if the shop can dyno the car, then they should be able to tune it too.

[DOOM]

I wouldn't run royal purple in the trans.

I would stick with motorcraft. Mercon 5!

[DOOM]

Also youre local to me.

What dyno shop are you going to???

[marauder410]

i acually alreayd got the bigger control arms and the ss brake line and didnt have the money for the big brake kit but just did a small udgrades tothe ss brake lines and some slotted and drilled rotors and wetna dnpainted the calibers red with those red stuff brake pads look awesome

[marauder410]

im really still tryna fitgure out where i was thinking bout this place caled justins performance they deal with mostly mustangs for this place on pulaski highway je performance

[babbage]

What you guy thinking on these mods doing in few days to my marauder

Might want to do new axles, bearings and seals. Brake in the 4.10's carefully with plain dyno oil THEN put in Royal Purple.

[ctrlraven]

AVOID JPC Justins Performance Center, they do not know how to tune a Marauder properly and have royally pissed off a lot of Mustang owners with shotty work and tuning. A good friend of mine had so many problems with their car after going there, JPC refused to fix anything and he was out a boat load of money. Took his car to a PA shop and they fixed all the problems.

If you want a local Ford shop to dyno your car you should just have them tune it. Check in with JJ @ Woodbine Motorsports in Woodbine, MD.

[marauder410]

so you guys are saying forget the DR tune and just get the shop thats gonna dyno it let them do the tune and will be better and do a before and after the mods

[DOOM]

im really still tryna fitgure out where i was thinking bout this place caled justins performance they deal with mostly mustangs for this place on pulaski highway je performance

DONT GO THERE!!! :nono: :down:

[marauder410]

ok so justins performance is out

[ctrlraven]

so you guys are saying forget the DR tune and just get the shop thats gonna dyno it let them do the tune and will be better and do a before and after the mods
YES! You don't really have to have them dyno tune the car, they can create you one by using SCTs pre-made canned tune and then do slight adjustments from there. Dyno tuning can get costly depending on how much the shop charges.

[marauder410]

lol ok doom im listening to the pros here im not goin to justins performance

[ctrlraven]

You could just order a flash tuner and tune from Lidio @ Alternative Automotive which is a vendor here.

[marauder410]

ok ima just have a shop do the mods forget the tune and sugestion the the shop bout about the place called je performance on pulaski highway

[marauder410]

i forgot to add i already got a sct tune bought and im currently running a 93 octance tune for Dennis Reinhart now leave that alone or what

[ctrlraven]

If you are happy with how the tune is now I would leave it be.

JE Performance is a performance IMPORT shop.

[marauder410]

ok so there both out where would yall recommend me go to get these mods listed above need osme good shop advise and need the gears installed right the first time nice and quiet

[ctrlraven]

Providing you have a 4.10 gear tune from DR already if not you'll need a 4.10 gear tune.

Contact Tom in Ford Service at Bob Bell Ford in Glen Burnie, best place to have them installed is by the dealer. You should also get a master gear install kit that comes with new axle bearings and have them replaced as well while the axles are out and all.

[marauder410]

[marauder410]

sorry im new but what does WOT mean

[Seneca]

>Wide Open Throttle< no problem. when i was NA i had a lidio tune It was Awsome!

[marauder410]

and open trottle mean when ur giving it gas right and na mean basically stock

[Seneca]

and open trottle mean when ur giving it gas right and na mean basically stock
No .. NA.. naturally aspirated.... Means no power adder.. Turbo N20 or supercharger.. WOT Wide open throttle just means what it's says. Pedal to the floor hope that helps a little bit. When I had my NA Tune Before I got my procharger I had 410's JLT intake and had a lidio tune.. That was a nice setup the tune was awsome. Just a mail order tune

[Flynlow]

Yes, WOT = petal all the way down.
NA = Naturally Aspirated, in other words, no forced induction. i.e. Supercharger, blower, turbo..

Tom in Service is a member here and a lot of Marauder owners deal with him, but if your happy with your guy keep using him.


so other than bob bell ford i need all these things done so whats a very good performance shop that you guy have used before in maryland closest good place to baltimore 21227 please need some helpWhat exactly are you looking to have done?


I must be Lucky, JPC Did the custom tune for my procharged car. Very happy with the out come. Been almost 3 years ago and many WOT's Just saying.You must be lucky then! lol


and open trottle mean when ur giving it gas right and na mean basically stock
WOT means gas pedal to the floor. NA means Natural Aspirated. No FI which means Force Induction such a turbo, supercharger or nitrous.

[marauder410]

if youre thinking of going to JE IMPORT PERFORMANCE.....DO NOT!, james evans(JE) is a rip-off, scamming scumbag POS. i had a civic and had him replace the turbo(on a aftermarket kit) and had nothing but problems with it, cost over $4000 for him to do it wrong....the guy put standard threaded bolts in a metric threaded holes, wired up a obd1 cpu and just connected the wires by twisting them and wrapping with electrical tape....^^^ as you can tell, im still pissed off over that crap that happened 5 years ago....anyways, listen to these guys on here, this site is great because of all the knowledge waiting to be told. i can personally say DOOM, and CTRLRAVEN know what theyre talking about, along with many others...not too many a-holes on this site, everybody is here to help it seems.

[marauder410]

yea i crossed both them off the list dont know where im going to take to now

[05crownsport]

I think it was mentioned before, but in the world of Ford performance work, woodbine motorsports has a good reputation. I have a co worker that's had his lightning worked on by them, and he has nothing but praise for their work.
