    Mach 1 Anyone removed the 'snorkel'?

    I think the article was in the magazine featuring Mach1 vs. GTO. On a stocker GT, I think every little mod you can put on will help; especially in combos (C&L intake + Steeda U/D pullies + FRPP 4.10). But, our Mach's come from the factory with all of the easy FRPP bolt-ons already on it, and...

    Mach 1 '0 and '04 owners, how many miles per gallon does your Mach 1 get?

    Thx on the props for the Predator, It seems like a wise investment. Thanks a lot though, I was trying not to catch the mod bug with this Mustang. You know what happens when you start..... :drool: But you know once you have the Predator, you can tune mods yourself. OK, I've said it...

    Mach 1 Hesitation under hard accelleration

    I'll buy into this theory. I get the same hesitation, but it seems to happen more when I'm driving mellow, windows up, A/C on, etc., and decide to tromp on it. When the weather is cooler (70-80), windows down, A/C off, the throttle body seems MUCH more responsive. When the temp drops to...

    Mach 1 Anyone removed the 'snorkel'?

    Do a search on MM&FF. They actually have an article on removing the "milk box" and give the correct dimensions of plug to buy and the silicon to seal it. That 'mod', and the K&N are the only mods I have made to mine. I'm not quite sure how the shaker air can get to the filter when the...

    Mach 1 '0 and '04 owners, how many miles per gallon does your Mach 1 get?

    I've never checked my mileage, but I can go one week on a tank. I fill up on Tuesdays when 7-11 prices max-grade at mid-grade price. I really don't care what my gas mileage is, as long as it goes fast :D I do think I'm in need of a slight tune adjustment. Been thinking about a Predator...

    Twin turbo charger option would be nice :hail2:

    Mach 1 what are your shift points

    LOL, most Lubbockites agree. At least you do have an organized hotrod roundup, I don't know about anything like that around here except for punks cruising 82nd street.

    Mach 1 what are your shift points

    I never go to Amarillo unless I'm passing through. Look for the Mustang roundups (Mustang Shows) in Lubbock, I usually go. If they do the same up North two hours, PM me, I may show up. Either way, your Best ET: [email protected] should be worth about 13.323 in most places, good time :nice...

    Mach 1 what are your shift points

    Good post, thalwang. I have not tracked or dynoed mine, yet, but I have reamed her quite a bit over the last year. This is what I have learned concerning the street: 1. If I redline 1st, I roast 2nd & have to grab 3rd to get traction (not good) *my rule-of-thumb: grab another gear if...

    Mach 1 The last Mach1 at Pollard is gone, who got it?

    I turned on a Midland/Odessa brother onto the 'Last Mach Standing' at the dealership who shot me my good deal. I was just wondering if he bought it. Sorry admin, I don't surf the web much this time of year, too much good driving, so you may have cancelled my thread. Anyway, for those who...

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    If you are SERIOUS about owning one, Pollard has an '04 Competition Orange that has set on the lot since I bought mine in March. They're the guys who cut my good deal. Just a headsup. Come to Dolaca when you get one :D

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    Yo Phoenix, don't buy your plane ticket yet. Go to the dealership, ask a salesman for the keys, start the motor, take it through a few revs, make sure it sounds good, then shut it off. DO NOT drive it, trust me on this one. Tell him you want to sign an Offer Sheet. WHEN he tries to get you...

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    Our shaker doesn't do jack but give fresh air. But, when you give the 32V all of the air it needs, we make bigtime HP and torque. I can't attest to 80+MPH, because I hit that speed mostly on accident, and I'm not paying attention to howl or intake pressure. I'm making sure I don't hit...

    Mach 1 Your first test drive in a Mach1

    Don't worry about turning radius, cut your wheels which ever direction you plan to go. Rev to 2000RPM, drop the clutch, and go there. :flag:

    Mach 1 drove the new goat today

    They advertised on the radio that the GTO is on a lot here. I was going to go check one out this weekend just to know a little more about the competition. Personally, I think GM really screwed this one up. They cannot just drop a Vette motor in a sedan and call it a hotrod :notnice...

    Mach 1 What is your favorite wax?

    I noticed that they leave lint as well. I've been spending HOURS on Autopia and reading the 'Guide to Detailing'. All I can say is: information overload. But, good info nonetheless. The most significant find over there is "Microfiber". It turns out that my wife had a microfiber towel...

    Mach 1 Engine Noise?!

    I, too, have the tick. I noticed it the very first time I went through a drive-thru window, the clicking sound was bouncing off of the wall. It is still doing it, heard it again today, coming from the left side of the motor. I thought the sound might go away with my first oil change...

    Mach 1 What is your favorite wax?

    Meguire's GC leather wipes, NXT Protectant and buffs Thanks for the great replies on 'the Wax' thread. I still have some Meguire's GC wax so went to the store looking for some of the other products I've been reading good things about. For under $30.00, I invested in Meguire's Gold Class...
