    Talking Marauder Mod #2: Lidio Tune

    Loaded the tune Lidio provided me into the car today and all I can say is WOW!!!!!

    It's NIGHT & DAY faster, it just pulls and pulls and pulls, then when you think it's all over it pulls some more!!

    I got it sideways twice already today, before it would barely break tire!!

    And as for transmission...again, WOW! I think Ford should just put Lidio in charge of programming the cars from the factory. Because THAT is how they should have been. The shifting and overall trans feel was my biggest gripe with the car...Lidio's tune took it from

    THIS...

    From what I understand, 4:10 gears and a more aggressive tune were originally planned for the cars, but CAFE requirements canned them as production items.

    They must have stuck a grandpa tune in it, because JESUS did it wake up!

    Do you still have the 3:55 gears in it? Get a set of 4:10s to go along with that tune and then see the difference; whole new car.

    I have a Lidio 4.10 tune waiting in my XCal as well. One of these days I'll get to it. I remember when I first drove the car after installing the 3.55 tune. Simply awesome.

    1 wheel peel? You may have more problems besides needing a tune, you sure they both don't spin?

    +1 you have LSD issues. All stock Marauders come with a LSD in it.

    Yes all Marauders have a LSD, Ford calls it "Traction-Lok"

    There is a very good rebuild/upgrade kit available from FRPP.
    It's the "Cobra" carbon fiber rebuild kit.

    So for anyone planing on doing allot of burnouts, I can recommend this as your next mod
