I have had my Marauder for about a Month now and when I picked it up the car did not come with the handheld tuner used by the previous owner. I didn't mind the awkward 1-2 shift and WOT shifts the car had at the time of purchase but boy did it start bothering me about a week in. The previous owner was able to find the old tuner for me and to my surprise the car had a Crown Vic tune on it. I returned it back to stock and it started shifting nice and smooth again... however, it now had the not so fun factory shift schedule.
Decided to pull the trigger on a tune from Marty and now I'm in love with driving the car all over again!
What a difference with the correct tune. He was super easy to deal with and answered all of my questions since I was concerned about ending up with another crappy tune like the previous owner had in the car.
My biggest concern was shifting under light throttle. My car spends a lot of time cruising around town so I did not want to constantly have the car slamming into the next gear or holding on too long then slamming into the next gear. With my tune at a firmness of 7 out of 10 the shifts are just right. You can definitely feel them but there is no neck snapping or jerkiness. It feels natural. Overall the car also feels lighter and always ready to go!
I know there are tons of good reviews on this forum about his tunes but I figured I'd add another! To anyone who is new to the Marauders or is still rocking a stock tune I would seriously consider giving Marty a call and ordering up a tune from him!
