[Maraudermike1]

I want to keep my Marauder mostly stock and i'm thinkin all I want is a good tune and a k & n cai. Could anybody give me an idea where I would stand quarter mile-wise with these mods and some good driving?

I ran 14.52 @ 97 in my car.

If I went down to shorter rear tires, I think I coulda easily got a 14.4 out of it.

Maraudermike, a tune will make a big difference, especially in the transmission shift scheduling. The CAI will make less of an improvement because the Roush-designed intake on the Marauder is already very low restriction. A set of underdrive pulleys will add a bit of a midrange boost, too, but the only real way to get these heavy low-torque cars to move is with 4.10 gears.

...or a power-adder.

Plus, CAI = whoooooooosh!

Mid 14's with a CAI and tune is great for a heavy car like the MM. Cool!

^^^^^ what RF said ^^^^^

Best bang for the buck: tune, 4.10s and U/D pulleys. Dropped over a second on my 1/4 mile times after doing these mods.

If I could get mine to run a 14.5, I would be more than satasfied. These are collectable and rare and I really don't want to wander too far from stock.

OK.
Zack tune + CAI + UDP's should get you there.

Don't need the 4.10's - I ran 14.5 with only Tune and K&N CAI

[a_d_a_m]

don't need the 4.10's - i ran 14.5 with only tune and k&n cai +1...........

So with 4.10s you don't think you'd run any lower? Bet they'd knock off a couple tenths, maybe get you down close to 14.0 flat.

I feel the same way for some reason! haha

I have a CAI. Would like to get a tune as well and if I ever buy a daily driver and park the marauder, I would probably get 4:10 gears as well.
