Good to hear. What are some of the details of your car.

The tune makes this car whole new world!
As most of us know, a tune is prolly the single best mod to wake up this car and turn it into something exciting. Fairly inexpensive and INSTANT gratification. I have a Zack tune that I love, in my SB. I got Mr. Man the Lidio tuner, for his black Marauder, at Christmas. :beer:

[jstevens]

Did he have a chance to load the tune yet?

[Ms. Denmark]

Did he have a chance to load the tune yet? Not yet! :( He put the car away for the Winter so it will likely be sometime in Spring before he loads it. Then I want to drive both cars and see if I can tell a difference in the tunes.

[jstevens]

So for the winter do you store one of yours or both?

[Mr. Man]

So for the winter do you store one of yours or both?
Both.

Presently the SB is at the body shop getting slowly repaired from the Bambi incedent in Oct. I told the guy who we are friendly with to take his time as we don't need it til April. It is living for the first time in it's life in a heated garage.:)

Would love to hear your opinion on this!

Well, keep us posted when you get a chance to nail it after loading the tune.

And I'm jealous that you get to store both of yours.

[Ms. Denmark]

Would love to hear your opinion on this! I'll shoot you a PM after the experiment Drew! :) I'm really curious! Don't know if it matters that his is an '03 and mine's an '04?

Thanks again SC!

[SC Cheesehead]

Thanks again SC!

You're welcome!

Get the gears and tune, and I guarantee you'll have a different car. If FoMoCo would have built 'em that way from the factory I've got believe they'd have sold a bunch more Marauders.

want a whole new world, get a lidio engine to go with that lidio tune!

[BCMARAUDING]

Quick question...........What's better? J-mod, computer reprogram or a shift kit install? Which works best with the Lidio tune? Should I contact them before I buy so they can program for it or?

[03mmmonroe]

YES tell them if you any type of valve body change. I ran a Lidio Tune for years with the shift kit installed but I told him about the change. I have also installed his tune in a few MM stock and I would say save your money on the J mod or shift kit and just get a tune and enjoy the car and the shifting.
BUT if you do any valve body work then they need to know so they can change the EPC psi back to stock. Or you will be hitting hard when the transmission shifts. MY transmission GUY stated hi EPC psi and valve body work is hard on internal transmission parts. He could see some sign in my transmission when I had it overhauled.

Hope this helps.
