    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    Not for another week or so. I wanted to put a few street miles on it before tuning it on the dyno. Assuming no problems I'll drive it back and forth to work next week and soon as Jeremy has time we'll see what it does. I'm also waiting on a snub idler before I dyno it and that should be in early...

    Anyone else notice there are a lot of junk 99-04 Mustangs on the road?

    Already seen a few down this way. Just this morning I followed an 05+ car that was hit from behind and they taped a light and had a bungee cord holding the truck closed and what looked like a coat hanger supporting one of the mufflers. Being an car enthusiast for so long you pretty much...

    K Member Comparison

    I'd love to see examples of any UPR k-member failures. I've known many people to use them on daily driven street vehicles and have never seen one failure in regards to build quality. I've seen one A arm bend after the car was involved in nasty collision that also bent the frame. Bill

    I had the UPR on my car for about 4 years, 3.5 of which it was my daily driver, 80k miles and even had a couple minor accidents and never had a problem. Bill

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    After a few weeks of frustration I believe I found the problem. I made the stupid mistake of re-using my low mileage stock plastic tensioners and the passenger side one either failed or the o-ring didn't seal causing it to collapse at full temp. When it collapsed it allowed slack in the chain...

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    Disaster (maybe a bit too strong of a word here) struck last night. I let the car idle and get up to temp to burp the coolant system and it was running nice and quiet up till about minute 8-9 and it developed a tick that got louder and louder. Sounds like a lifter went bad in the passenger side...

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    I had a pretty nerve racking weekend but everything worked out in the end. On Saturday I got to the point where I could crank the engine over without fuel to prime it before starting it. After a few phone calls and a dead battery I still had no oil pressure. I left in frustration only to come...

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    Stock Mach 1 PCM with the Cobra value files brought in and adjusted for MAF, injectors, timing. Jeremy is doing the tune for me. I have a Metco aux idler to add but the belt is too short for it. It should be okay for break in but before I put it on the dyno for a real tune I'll get the right...

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    That was 2003, just over 6 years ago. Hard to believe it's been that long. My aluminum driveshaft showed up as I was leaving for the race and brought it with me and installed in the pits on Friday. I made it to the quarter finals in Mod Motor also that was a good weekend.

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    Thanks. My U joint and powder coated parts came in. If all goes well I should have a quick video of it running tonight.

    What Would It Take

    You would definitely need cams. My Mach made just over 300RWHP with a K&N and mid length headers, catted X and to get close to that you would need just about every bolt on, cams and really head work as well. Bill

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    Getting down to the last little bit. Intake finished up. Hood clearance. Front suspension. Waiting on a conversion U-joint for the driveshaft and sent out two more parts to powder coat. Should have it all by Thursday so I can wrap it up. Hope to fire it up and let...

    2010 Mustang COBRA JET

    The car was even more impressive in person (at SEMA). It's crazy how big that Whipple 4.0 is. Bill

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    The blower is now bolted up, wiring is mostly done, front accessories back on, intercooler reservoir is mounted. Although it doesn't look like I made much progress I actually got a bunch of things worked out. Back in April I had a wiring problem and fired the fusible link and ended up doing my...

    Anyone ordered from modularheadshop.com ???

    Nick did the work on my 4v heads just recently and did an amazing job. Bill

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    Different priorities. When I bought my 2000 I was on a budget and having a fast NA GT was pretty rare, cheap and it worked well for racing NMRA and FFW events. I drove it daily but I also lost some streetability with it. The local street scene was completely dead also (hang outs, car cruises...

    Mach 1 Whipple Swap

    Right now it's looking at the very least I'll have to attach the shaker to the hood because there are no good mounting points on the whipple itself like the Eaton had. My big problem is the pulley. I need at least 1/2" above the pulley and a good 1.5" side to side so it doesn't hit the hood...
