Hello everyone, I have 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis and I am looking to make it a bit more fun. This forum seems to be the goto for wizards of the Panthers so I Appreciate the advice. I would like to know what is the best programmer for the car to wake it really nice or just swap the ecu out for a CVPI ecu? Also i saw a thread regarding rims for this car but i didn't see if it said that i could make 2014 alloys ( 17" 40mm backspace ) would work with a spacer. Thanks in advance for your help.

2002 Mercury Grand Marquis bbk xpipe, dual 2 1/2" flowmaster 40, silverline tips, Gabriel Maxcontrol front, gabriel load carrier rear.

Biggest bang for the buck would be to get a custom tune from Marty Ochs in Georgia(Mo's Speed Shop)
Mustang 2014 wheels will fit with 1.5" spacers all around(or 1.5" front and 2" rear)

For the wheels look at Discount Tire and Wheel website. They have many choices of wheels and tires and you would not have to use spacers. I did that on my 04 CV and no issues.
