    Mach 1 2003 supercharger mach1 or saleen s/c

    Love your car man! You did an excellent build on it. If you ever get farther down the Eastern seaboard, we have to get together for a beer, at least! :nice:

    Mach 1 Post Pics of your Mach

    How do you like those rims? I have the silver FR500's and I hate them! Takes longer to clean those damn things than to wash and wax the car!

    Mach 1 2003 supercharger mach1 or saleen s/c

    If you're starting out with stock cars, you're going to have to forge the bottom end to get 500 wheel horsepower, at least on the Mach 1. I have no idea what Saleen does to the 2 valves in their cars, but I don't think they are fully forged. The next question I have to ask at this point is, if...

    Mach 1 2003 supercharger mach1 or saleen s/c

    Unless your in it for the collectablility of the car (Saleen), get the Mach 1. Bank the three grand difference, and down the road, forge the bottom end of the Mach's 32 valve motor, and crank the boost up!

    mach1 motor is this a good set up

    I don't know man. It's still a mod motor, and they aren't known to produce a lot of horsepower normally aspirated, without some pretty sophisticated porting and machining. My guess would be that setup would net about 375-400hp, maybe, unless I'm missing something, because I don't see a magic...

    mach1 motor is this a good set up

    A good setup for what? Drag racing, street performance, road racing? Looks like a N/A stroker motor with some cams. How much is that going to cost? I dunno, but I don't think I would be going that route, but to each his own.

    Delawareans please check in here!

    If you're in northern Delaware, head up I-95 to Aston, Pa. and hit up either Tillman Speed or Evolution Performance.

    Mach 1 04 Mach 1 auto

    Good guess! Mid to high 13's are realistic depending on conditions and skill.

    Mach 1 how reliable are the 03-04 mach 1s

    I put just about 60k miles on mine, with no problems other than normal maintenance issues. Ran a 100 shot of nitrous on it for about 4 years. Of course, now I'm starting all over again, since I had a new supercharged Aluminator motor installed recently.

    Mach 1 C&L CAI Fit Issues

    Good luck with that! I know there are people who claim to have gotten it to fit with the stock mass air, but I'm not one of them. When I did this mod a few years ago, I tried like hell to get it to fit, and there was no way! I eventually saved up for the complete setup that included the C&L 85mm...

    Mach 1 03/04 Mach vs 05 GT

    I don't know exactly when it happened, but when I looked at a couple of 2007 GT 5-speeds, the window sticker listed the 3.55 gears as "optional." I know the cars being converted to Shelby GT's also had to have the 3.55's installed as optional equipment as part of the Shelby conversion. It was...

    Mach 1 03/04 Mach vs 05 GT

    I ran a 13.1 in a bone stock, street-tired Mach 1 with no problem. As for the Mach 1 vs S197, I've done that a few times out on the streets, and my totally unbiased opinion (wink), is that the newer car can keep up pretty good through the first 2 gears, after that, the Mach walks, big time...

    Mach 1 '03 Mach 1 flywheel bolts?

    You're welcome. Just for the record, the automatic version has six, which is the same as the Mustang GT flywheel.

    Mach 1 Is Nitrous going to kill my Mach ?

    I know people running 8lbs of boost on a Procharger, with no adverse effects on the motor. As for the question about nitrous, I've been running a NX Ford EFI 100+ wet shot on my Mach 1 for over 3 years and 55k miles, with nary a hiccup from the motor! I have blown the rearend twice and been...

    Mach 1 Best mach mods for the money. . . .no power adders

    I've had the Nitrous Express wet kit on my car for over 3 years now, and never had a problem with it. I started out at a 75 shot, and then 100, and finally the 125 shot. I use a custom Predator tune loaded into a Diablosport flip chip, so I can switch back and forth between the stock tune...

    Mach 1 Best mach mods for the money. . . .no power adders

    I've found that 3.90 gears are really hard to find! I don't think Ford Racing even offers them, so you would have to look to somebody like Motive or Richmond to get a set. I still have the stock 3.55's in my car. They work just fine with the nitrous setup, but if I was to kick it up a notch...

    Mach 1 Best mach mods for the money. . . .no power adders

    Sounds like that car was in need of a tune or something, because that is really low for a 5-spd Mach 1 on a dynojet. That's more in line with an automatic tranny Mach 1.

    Mach 1 Best mach mods for the money. . . .no power adders

    Maybe you didn't look closely at my sig. A bone stock Mach 1 5-speed will dyno anywhere from 275 up to close to 300rwhp. Even the automatics are good for 255-270 rwhp. A good all around gear is a 4.10 for a n/a Mach 1. With a power adder, you're better off keeping the stock 3.55 or possibly a...

    Mach 1 Best mach mods for the money. . . .no power adders

    The reality of the situation is that Ford did such a good job on the Mach 1, that it is very difficult to just add a few bolt-ons and get major performance gains! If you think about it, the Mach 1 is the epitome of the n/a Cobra line, minus the IRS and 6-speed. SVT had to add a blower to...
