I went to see the "Master" today. Lidio installed my chip and 410. This is the chip that he developed for the MM. All I can say is that it really wakes the car up. The car hits the shift points harder and moves it a lot better. I really wanted the Trilogy package but the funds are a little funny right now. I am very happy with this retune. Also, to those wondering, my rpms went from about 2300 at 80mph to about 2500-2600 rpms at 80mph. For those that can't foot the bill for a blower right now, check out Lidio's chip and 410. Thank you Lidio.

Out of curiosity, did you install an upgraded driveshaft while you were at it? I definately plan on having a few mods put on by Lidio this summer, but am not sure what it is. With this damn IRS bill I have this year, it's put a dent on my modding plans, so just minor stuff for now. I'm debating 4.10 gears, chip with dynotune, and upgraded driveshaft as plan A.
Plan B is if I have a few more available funds which will be a Kooks long tube headers and x-pipe along with a dyno tune chip.

I kept the original driveshaft. Lidio says it is good enough to keep. The Trilogy powered cars here in the city are still running stock driveshafts and that is with all the added power. If it is good enough for those cars I know it will be good enough for mine. Believe me Junehhan, you won't be disappointed in this upgrades.

Like Bigslim said , don't waste your money on a driveshaft unless you normally drive at speeds of 125+. ;)

Lidio's using SCT software, right? Jerry W. stuff?

No, he is using the same chip thats in every Marauder he has done so far. Same as mine, his, and the chip included in the trilogy kit. So I guess you could call it Lidio's software, Lidio I. stuff. I was at the shop when they were doing Darryls ride, finishing up on Mikes, and doing a little something to mine. In fact, there was another Marauder there to that Lid was tuning, the newest member of the Motor City Marauders is Andy. Picture that folks....5 Marauders in the shop at one time....doesnt get much better than that.

No problem, Dave, thanks for the 411. Just want to rule out some "rumors." Glad I heard it from the horses's mouth.

Again...im confused, but will ask you to call me instead of discussing it here. Not aware of any rumors. Fill me in, you have the number.

Since there was a chance a rain I did not get a chance to drive my MM today. I will have it out this weekend and enjoy the new mods. I must say one thing, Lidio runs a first class business. I was really impressed with his knowledge of Fords. I may not have the fastest MM out there but at least it runs pretty damn good.

No flames fellows. Why can't we see some Dyno runs before and after the chip or tune? Just asking.

Glad you’re happy with all the work. I’m hoping to continue to serve the Motor City Marauders and then some. :up:
The Marauder thing has really begun to flourish for us. Every week lately theirs at least a couple of them floating through for some thing to be done.
The 4.10’s and our chip really wake up a MM, from better throttle response to much better transmission and torque converter feel… It’s a great starter package.
Thanks
