    Mach 1 Throttle body Question

    No offense, but I just don't understand why people go through the hassle and expense of replacing things like throttle bodies, for very little, if any, performance gains. The stock one works just fine, even in FI applications.

    Mach 1 underdrive pullies

    Just a little trivia. The Mach 1 comes from the factory with 1 underdrive pulley installed, on the alternator. The use of underdrive pulleys on Mach1 engines does not seem to be of any benefit as far as power gains. They have also been directly linked to the complete failure of the engine's...

    Mach 1 MACH 1 VS BOSS

    I owned a 1970 Mach1 428CJ Drag Pack car back in the early '70's. I ran it a few times at Cecil County Dragway, but never with slicks, and I could never get it to break into the 13's! I could run low 14's all day long, but that was the best I could do. On the other hand, my 03 Mach1, bone...

    Mach 1 What are the advantages to wider tires in the back

    Umm, well, if you put 10" wheels on the front of a Mustang, besides looking silly, it ain't gonna turn real well. LOL! As has been the case for many years, the larger (wider) tires in the rear will aide in the traction department by putting a larger contact patch down on the road. That's...

    Mach 1 I have a Mach 1 but I dont really like the Shaker

    You could have purchased an '01 Cobra, had all those things, and not had to put up with that horrible, disgusting shaker hood and scoop.:notnice:

    Mach 1 Steel wheels on a Mach.

    Exactly! That's why your mini-spare has a 17" rim.:nice: And for the record, snow tires are for weenies!

    Mach 1 1st Dyno Pull

    That is one odd looking dyno chart you got there! I don't think I've ever seen one that plots the rpms as another line on the chart, as opposed to being either an x or y axis. I think I'd try to find a dyno shop that uses more mainstream equipment, such as a DynoJet or Mustang Dyno, and do some...

    Mach 1 does anyone know the stock wheel size?

    He must have mounted them himself, because I don't think any reputable tire installer would even attempt to mount 315's on an 8 inch rim! :eek:

    Mach 1 Vette slayer?!

    You might want to take your research and stick it up your ass. Anybody who relies on magazine stats is a moron. Bone stock, just like it came from the dealers lot.

    Wife Gets New 2007 V6 Mustang!

    Well the cars are still dirty from all the rain, but I did snap a few pictures in the garage tonight.

    Wife Gets New 2007 V6 Mustang!

    Interesting story here! My wife won a sweepstakes sponsored by Kelloggs and Farm Fresh back in July and the grand prize was a 2006 Ford Fusion SE-I4. By the time they got around to sending her the paperwork and deciding which Ford dealer to use, the 2006 model year had ended and the only thing...

    Mach 1 I dont know if I should get 4:10s

    In what, 5th gear? With 4.10's and a TR3650 5-speed, you would be turning about 2600 RPM in 5th gear at 70mph. If it's an automatic, I'm not sure.

    Mach 1 Vette slayer?!

    I think you need to re-examine your list. Carbon fiber driveshaft and hood, waste of money. Leave the stock hood (lightweight composite), and get a Ford Racing aluminum driveshaft. Why the radiator? Aluminum flywheel is a good choice, along with a good clutch setup to go with it. Gears are good...

    Mach 1 New 03 mach owner

    Don't put underdrive pulleys on it!! They give no power increase and will cause more headaches than you can stand. They have been linked to oil pump failures in the Mach 1 engine, so stay away from them. The alternator comes from the factory with an underdrive pulley, but that's the only one. If...

    Here's a few.

    Mach 1 stalling

    Not to be an ass, but what kind of way is that to drive a car? Would you even think of taking an automatic and putting it in neutral while going down the road at 40mph? Other than that, the missing maf screen could have something to do with it.

    Mach 1 Mach 1 rpm question

    Everything in the motor of an automatic equipped Mach 1 is the same as the 5-speed, until you get to the crankshaft/flywheel. The autos have a cast crankshaft and 6-bolt flywheel vs the 5-speeds forged steel crankshaft and 8-bolt flywheel. I don't think anybody has thoroughly explained the...

    Mach 1 VIN check?

    Yup, top of drivers side dash cover at base of the windshield. I think there's a partial vin number on the sticker on the drivers side door, the one with the tire pressure recommendations. I wouldn't think stamping vin numbers on collision-replaceable items like the hood and fenders would be...

    Mach 1 All about tires

    Most people will say that the stock Goodyear Eagles are "junk", "trash", "POS", etc. I won't be as harsh, because I actually thought they were decent tires. Problem is, they are a very soft compound that wears pretty quickly, even without abuse. Check the rubber residue (black powdery stuff) on...

    Mach 1 CAI or PHP Spacer & K&N??

    I'd get both. A full CAI and the PHP intake spacer to maximize the power increase.
