    Just orderd a 2011 GT premium 5.0. Will i be disapointed???

    Yes, there is a difference between what you will run on averge or "all day long" and what's "possible" with the perfect run on the perfect day on the perfect track. I read about one of the tuners that tested their new automatic stock and got 13.03 backed up with 13.02....impressive. I...

    2011 5.0L power capacity

    I agree, but I guess we have to go with what we got. Have you got any idea what it would cost to put forged pistons and rods in a new 5.0?

    Thanks for the help, sounds like the Micky Thompsons would be best. Any estimate on how much time it would improve on a new 2011 5.0 ?

    Does anyone know the steering ratio for an 07 V6 with pony package and the difference, if any, for a GT? If different, will a GT steering box fit on a V6?

    Mach 1 Mach Exhaust Improvements

    You're right TR03Mach1. Only one calculation this way, I guess I was thinking of doing it in my head. It's easy for me to figure out 15% of say 320 (48) and subtract that from 320 as opposed to dividing 272 by .85 in my head, but then again I may not be the smartest apple on the tree lol..

    Mach 1 Mach Exhaust Improvements

    OK I guess I worded it wrong. I meant rear wheel pressure affects the dyno. Front wheel preessure affects rolling resistance in the quarter.

    Mach 1 Mach Exhaust Improvements

    Actualy, when you figure parasitic loss, you have to subtract 15% from your flywheel horsepower, becuse you are lossing this amount through the transmission. Some people make the mistake of just taking the rear wheel horsepower and adding 15% which is wrong. For example, 320 flywheel horsepower...

    Mach 1 Recomendations for an aftermarket exhaust for 04' mach 1?

    Congrat's on your new mach! Awsome machine. I love mine. As for as exhaust, are you talking about a complete exhaust(headers,midpipe,and cat back) or just a cat back and/or mufflers? Also, are you looking for performance or sound. Most mufflers are about the same performance wise so it just...

    Mach 1 Buyer's Remorse

    The Mach is one heck of a car for 24k.... The only enginering issues I know of are the shaker rattle and seat squeek. The other problems are quality control issues and sure, ford could make every car perfectly if you are willing to pay another 10k for increased quality control. Overall, most...

    Mach 1 Change in late 03 and 04 Mach 1 heads ?

    As far as I can tell, there is no difference. Early cars have dynoed as high as later cars. As far as the blue paint on the heads, it has been verified that some of the cars with the early build dates also have the blue paint.

    Mach 1 ? mach 1

    First of all, it has a 7200 rpm rev limiter so don't worry about hurting it. However, you should shift at around 6200 rpm otherwise you will be out of the power band. If you want to get the scoop go to "mach1 registry". They have all the info you need.

    Mach 1 Mach 1 with Louvers...Whats your opinion?

    You can go to Mach1 registry and see some pictures of a bue mach with luvours. I personally don't want any for myself, but they don't look bad either. I guess it's just a matter of personal taste. I just think it takes a little away from the black spoiler.

    Mach 1 Stock Mach 1 Vs stock LS1

    I went to the track for the first time last sunday. I ran 13.6. There was a guy with a Z28 LS1 with a LID and cat back and his best time was 13.8. I also saw a black TA LS1 run 14.0 and 14.1. I think the 20 HP differece is more than offset by the Mach's lighter weight, better suspension...
