Dyno numbers look about right for a stock Mach 1. You need to work on your launch at the track though. Get that 60' down to a 2.0, and you should be in the low 13's and a couple of mph faster in the traps!rdksek844 said:

Ok.....two questions.......what were you launching your car at when you were stock? My best time was 2.118 and I launched right about 2000, maybe a bit more. And my last question, i'm curious as to how your car sounds with the borla catback and stock H-pipe on there. Does it sound really good with just the stock H-pipe?

My best stock runs were accomplished by just slipping the clutch out easy, just like I would do on the street pulling away from a stoplight or a stop sign, then nailing it. Anything more than that, and the Goodyears would spin really bad! I have to give alot of credit to the track prep/conditions also. Plus you have to look at the fact we're in two different worlds, Texas heat vs East Coast cool, crisp spring air makes a world of difference! I do most of my track runs in the spring or fall when the air is cool and less humid. As for the exhaust, I think it sounds great. I had a Magnaflow o/r X-pipe on when I purchased the Borla, and it was just way too nasty loud!!! Obnoxiously loud would be the way to describe it! It also killed my low-end torque for some reason, the car just wouldn't pull as hard down low. So I put the stock H-pipe back on and that restored my low-end and cut down the noise to a tolerable level. At idle, sounds very burbly, mid to full throttle, lets people know you mean business.djlethalwang said:

Yeah, I've been wanting exhaust for a while on my car, and I know exactly what I want but I don't have the money for the full exhaust system. I want a Borla catback system with Bassani catted X and later on BBK headers, but I only have money for the Borla right now and I didn't know if I should wait until I can buy both the X and the Borla or if I should go ahead and get the Borla. Sounds like just having a stock H-pipe with Borla would sound awesome. So i'm thinkin i might ahead and get the catback system until I have money for an X-pipe.........but as the track times, yeah I live in an area where it really isn't that great of a place to try to get your best 1/4 mile. The altitude hurts quite a bit and the track we have here isn't too great. The pavement is too slippery and you can't hook up that well. The only good thing about this area is that it isn't very humid at all.

Jester broke his and has video of it.
I have heard of more than 10 people that have broke axles with MAch 1s with drag radials and launching higher than 2500 rpm.

I've been wanting to borrow my friends Nitto Drag Radials off of his GT for the track so i could launch better but I've heard and read so much about stock Machs with just drag radials or slicks breaking axles that it makes me a little paranoid about trying out those Nittos......I think i might have a little trouble with warranty if i broke an axle......

I have never been bothered by a single cop for my exhaust, everyone loves the sound, and everyone turns there head to see whats coming down the street. No one has every told me my exhaust is annoying loud, just a deep tone so it carries. In order to get my 60ft time down I think i'm gonna get Upper and Lower Control arms, I just suck at launching, and yes I do slip the clutch....then again it is on the factory rubber which is a bit tricky. I was very surprised what I ran considering I had a 2.2 60ft. My goal for now is to break into the 12's doesn't seem to far away

That might sound low, but that is a correct Mustang dyno run if you ask me. I only dynoed 250RWHP on a Mustang Dyno with a CAI and a Catback, and mine is a 5 speed.
