I checked out Alternative performance, for a tune for my 03 and it is 400$ for a tuner and the tune programmed. Is there anyway I could get a tune cheaper then that weather it be buying my sct tuner separately and sending it in to be tuned by Alternative, Reinhart or whoever has the most reasonable price? Thanks!

As in most things, you get what you pay for. Lidio is one of the most experienced tuners for the Marauder and has a very high quality product. You can buy a generic tune and it may be "OK", but it will not be as good as his.

You can buy a used SCT X3 handheld tuner and load the Marauder tune from SCT.

For the price of a used tuner $200-300 plus an emailed tune $75-150 for a single tune you are better off buying a tuner and tune pkg from a vendor. I believe Lidio and MO's both offer 3.55 and 4.10 gear tunes with the package as well.

Cheap and modular motors don't belong together. If you think a $400 tune & tuner is expensive, wait till you have to replace a motor from a *****ty tune.

Dont mod the car. Or buy an ls equiped car. Btw lidio's tune is one of the best i have driven. Do not get the Reinhart automotive. As far as mo's i dont have personal experience with it but everyone that has tried their tune seems to like it.

I ordered one for my husband's Marauder last Christmas. It was a pleasure doing business with Lidio.

Been there, done that.
Spend the money, my tune was done by a well known tuner but very early on, Trilogy #36.
When the motor was replaced and a baseline dyno pull was done there was no question why it let go.
