i think, my Marauder is to slow. long time ago, i drive a CVPI from 2001 with 240HP. at this car, i pound on the pedal and the tires spinning around, but the car stay on the same place :burnout:
at ma MM, when i do the same, nothing is happen like the CVPI.
i think, something is wrong

Marauders have much fatter tires than the CVPI you had and much better traction and if you have a 2003 300B or later you probably had the traction control engaged.
I have a K&N FIPK kit and a tune from Lidio in my 2004 and even with my traction control off I've never really burned the tires off the line,I get a good squeal from them and leave tire marks for a short distance indicating some tire slippage but that's it and I know mine is no slug.A stock MM isn't a killer off the line,that's why some of the most popular mods are 4.10 gears and higher stall speed torque convertors.
BTW,burning rubber looks and sounds impressive but it makes you slower,not faster.

In this thread the differences between 300A and 300B are explained.

1,What year is your MM ?
You should post it in your signature to make it easier for people to help you in the future.
2,Does your MM have the clock in the dash?
3,Do you have a traction control on&off switch on your dash panel?
4,You might want to post your VIN number or at least give it to RoyLPita. He can run an OASIS report on your car telling you when it was built,when it was first sold and any work that was done to it under warranty as well as to what it's number was in the MM production sequence and probably some other interesting info for you.
We'll help you if we can but we need more info from you to be able to do it right.

Are you still using liquid propane? Could be a difference in HP or TQ from gasoline. How is it at autobahn speeds?

autobahn speed is excellent :-) 190km/h 3600rpm!!
from 80km/h till 190km/h is very fast. i think, itīs no different between lpg and gasoline

My son in law has a Hemi Powered Dodge Magnum . More HP, but no spinning tires either. Bottom line is how fast is it.

my brothers charger R/T spins the wheels with ease
CVPI's dont have limited slip diff's, and they make torque lower, that is why it can spin a tire much easier.

My 2002 P71 has TracLoc and 3.27 gears and it don't spin the tires and it has Magnaflow Hi Flow Cats and Magnaflow mufflers and a K&N panel filter. It ain't no MM but it does run and sound nice though,right Dom?

The lpg tank is weighing your ass end down, I bet without it and without the spare tire the thing will burn. Mine does, and is completely stock. P71s do not have limited slips? As opposed to what, our MMs having it??

I know my CVPI has 3.55 Gears and a ltd-slip rear from the factory. It's no monster off the line, but obviously it IS a CVPI, not a Marauder and only has minor mods. Nothing in the TC department, but who needs that! :-D

Don't worry about the high school stuff. When a punk see you at the light, just worry about having a good reaction time.
