    Mach 1 Intake Purchase Help

    If you want max hp/tp consider this CAI but the shaker becomes a sorces of cooling your engine only. The JLT RAI you can do as I did...do a search on the site. You lose a couple HP but it's keeps the shaker as designed. Buy the combo and have it painted and you can put on the CAI or make a...

    Magnaflow Exhaust...LOUD!!!

    I put packs on mine but I don't feel they are that loud and I don't like loud or drone. The put out more than my stock exhaust on the Mach but now I've considering a catted X or H since it's not annoying. :rolleyes:

    v6 to v8 upgrade - what woudl you change?

    Sell your 6 and buy a v8. Your resale value when you sell it will be more and you don't have to buy wheels,tires, rear end, tranny, engine and all the goodies. That is unless your making some kind of drag car and it's not your daily driver....slap in a 5.0 motor.

    Well I don't think there will be for sometime unless they change the focus of "The Living Lengends" progam. 1. Bullit 2. Mach 1 3. Ford GT Boss, shelby............ This is suposed to be a series of cars not production cars per say.

    1/4 mile vid of 05 Stang GT

    It will be interesting if Ford choose to make the 05 as stong as it could be with Dodge and Chevy coming out with products in 06/07 timeframe. Ford seems to hold something back and sandbag sometimes. The car that debates in 05 could be weak compare to the GT's 3 or 4 years down the road IMO...

    I've heard rumors that Ford will put.....

    No it's not an "event data recorder" like on the newer cars, they record the world. It does save a few seconds of some limited data. Here's a list of cars that contain them although 04's haven't been updated yet. http://www.harristechnical.com/downloads/cdrlist.pdf If you go though the...

    I've heard rumors that Ford will put.....

    a "event data recorder" in their 05 Mustang. Has anyone confirmed that? If so it's going to be hard to get warranty work done when you screw up something racing and some insurance companies have been using that data against the driver in court when an accident occurs. :notnice: if this is...

    were can I buy the tool to remove the MAF sensor???

    Mine has that too. It's very common and you can get it at Autozone, it's packaged by itself though but not very expensive. I think it's a torques T-20 but it could be a T-15 I cant remember.

    More power with synthetic oil?

    Just for the record....wrong. I worked for Amoco Tulsa Research for 22 years and color of oil has little to do with it's effectiveness. What is important is a filter change to catch the particles. Other factors include: All city driving (a few miles at a time) Very dusty conditions like a...

    More power with synthetic oil?

    you save money by going longer without a oil change. Now for more power you can be sure when you reduce friction you gain power that's what Ford did when they went to roller cams and went through the assy parts to reduce friction to find added HP. My car on Moble 1 gets 1 mpg more when I use...

    Help Me pass Smog (running 2 rich)

    Too rich equals less power. What is your A/F ratio? You need to lean your car up with a custom tune or a device such as a Preditor or Super Chips hand held tunner on a dyno. An exhaust system won't make you run any richer but after adding performance components you do need to tune your car...

    Magnaflow Exhaust: Anyone have it and how is it

    I went with the MagnaPacks for more sound, I'm not doing a full exhaust. They sound great.....If I had been doing a mid-pipe I may have went with the flows. And YES packs are street legal :shrug:

    VERY slow air leak???? Can't figure out whats up with my tire. :-(

    On my 02 GT I had a slow leak on my front passengers side. I took it to the tire shop and he didn't find anything in the tire. He told me the factory seals will dry out and leak sometime on a new car. Since he put the tire back on I've had zero problems.

    Mach 1 Mach 1 or an 04 cobra

    I could have had either and now I have 2 Mach's. The new Cobra's just don't do it for me it calls 6 banger. But it one heck of an engine if you want the maintaince of a SC car.

    Mach transplant vs. KB supercharger

    I think you should sell your old car and get what you want, too much needs to be updated with the Mach engine or the SC and resell value would be a joke if you had to sell it. 98=lots of work plus whole drive line change than you add in a tranny because yours won't handle the power your better...

    Mach 1 collector item?

    Yes cars shows are very hot and old cars are very expensive right now they aren't out of favor at all. In fact kids my son's age are drag racing not round track racing. This car and the cobras been a very big seller for Ford and the kids driving stangs today will keep them in the spotlight and...

    mach 1

    Ford didn't call the series of cars the "Living Legends" for nothing, it never was to be a regular production car. The first in the series was the Bullit, then the Mach, and the Ford GT. What's next, the shelby or the Boss? Your guess is as good as mine............. :banana:
