    Some Clarification: '03 Mach 1 vs '01 Cobra

    Well, if you're going to compare a modded '01 engine to a stock '03 4V I wouldn't exactly call that "Apples-to-Apples". As far as the Mach 1 you mention with "All the bolt-ons" hitting only 295 rwhp, I'd like to see that since my car made only ~ 8 rwhp less with only a drop-in K&N filter in...

    3.55 gears in the mach1 and 05 mustang

    You just keep thinking you're faster than Mach 1's.... ...those same 4.10's fit Mach 1's too you know.

    Some Clarification: '03 Mach 1 vs '01 Cobra

    Not trying to revive the flame-fest that the other thread had degraded to, but since there was some inaccurate info posted there... The '03 mach & the '01 Cobra have basically the same shortblock, with the exception of a slight compression increase from 9.85:1 to 10:1. They both have the...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Took my Mach in for the 1st time to try & get Ford to fix the 1-2 grind & 3rd gear "Lock-Out" that I've experienced since the car was new. Dealer had the car for several days & test-drove the car numerous times. I even gave them the new part numbers listed in several other threads on this...

    '01 Cobra vs. '03 Mach 1

    The Mach makes more power & torque throughout the rpm range due to different head design, different intake cams (sourced from the Navigator & the same cams the '03/'04 Cobra use), revised exhaust manifolds, and slightly higher compression. To illustrate the difference, here's my stock '01...

    used 03 Cobra or New Mach 1??

    Just as an FYI, some stock Mach 1's are in the 12's with no mods whatsoever... ...sticky tires + gears & a few more simple mods can = mid 12's with good driving. :spot: That's certainly stock Cobra territory or slightly better. :nice:

    Mach 1 Buyer's Remorse

    The only issue you mentioned that Ford won't fix is the rusty 8.8 housing. They don't paint it from the factory (GT's don't get painted housings either), so it's going to rust quickly. There's a TSB for the shaker rattle (mine doesn't even have the problem), there's now parts to fix the...

    Mach 1 4.10 Gears

    Same here - just had 4.30's put in my Mach & they are AWESOME! I had a ton of other stuff done to the rear-end at the same time as the gear swap - Eaton 31-spline differential/31-spline Superior axles/TA Girdle/Axle tubes welded/SpeedCal installed - and I only paid $200.00 labor for...

    Mach 1 Stock Mach 1 Vs stock LS1

    WTF are you talking about? The Mach 1 weighs roughly the same as an LS1 F-body (~ 3350 - 3450lbs), and has a slightly better rear gear (3.55 vs 3.42) - it's not like the Mach 1 weighs 2800 lbs & has 4.30's from the factory... :rolleyes: So how is it that the Chevy is at a disadvantage...

    '99+ GT axle dimensions???

    I need some help from '99+ Cobra owners who have swapped-in a '99+ GT 8.8 solid rear & who have removed the stock axles & installed aftermarket 31-spline replacements. I need measurements from the stock GT axles, specifically: Both axle Lengths (measured from outside of axle flange to end of...

    Mach 1 Mach 1 Axle Specs different than '99+ GT?

    There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding what parts are the same between the '03/'04 Mach 1 & the '99+ GT 8.8 set-up. So far, I've heard/read: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The GT axles are exactly the same as the Mach 1 axles...

    dyno results after magnaflo catback install

    Torque didn't increase to the same extent due to the fact that modern engines are designed around a certain amount of exhaust backpressure being present.

    Good luck getting those parts at that price. Maganflow increased their prices recently, and both parts are a LOT more expensive now... :mad:

    Bent/Broken gas pedal fix???

    Anyone know of a fix/modification for the wimpy Ford gas pedal so it won't bend/break? Mine keeps bending, so much that the car won't go WOT anymore. Is the fix a different pedal, or to just modify the stock one? I'm pretty damn sick of bending the pedal back to it's original height...

    Eaton vs. Ford 31-spline posi unit???

    What are the benefits of going with an Eaton unit over a Ford 31-spline Traction-Lok posi? The Eaton costs ~ $160 extra - what am I getting for the additional dough? Getting ready to convert to 4.30's/31-spline axles/31-spline posi, and I want to do it right without spending too much extra...
