I am hopefully picking up my mach tomorrow, and i couldn't help notice that its redline was 6k or so, and i know atleast the 5 speed is 7k, what gives?
Well you need to buy a preditor or SCT tuner. The computer makes the auto shift like a sludge box. If I am shifting at 5700rpm I tend to hit the rev limiter on my car, it sputters and then shifts. If I shift from 4800 to 5200 rpms it won't shift until about red line at 6k. On my auto you may as well leave it in drive stock. It could be my car since I only have one but I'd say these cars are setup for more street driving. Tires and made to make a firm shift at will and there sweet.
well i just wanna confirm this, i did pick up my mach 1, 2004, 11,000 miles, auto, the dealer wanted 1500 down, 2250 for my 98 gt, and payments would of been over 600 a month, went to my credit union talked them down to 25k, put 1500 down on 5.35 interest, got to keep my 98 GT, financin 24,8xx, payments are around 470, first time buyer, with co signer, im 20, Boy do i love this car!
so far on the mach, ive put the slp catback, and then added some tint and alarm and bumper inserts, and gt is being fixed right now and will hopefully be out the shop this week so i can finally sell it. 6k
i like the sound as much as i did my bassani, plus ALOT cheaper, and my tail pipes are stiff unlike on my driver side tailpipe on the GT! cant wait for the x pipe, got it dyno'ed today and the guys recommend the bassani x, but i want one with interchangable cats and straight pipe like slp's x, plus im hopin to find one that the cats, when on, dont hang as low as my gt so when i get a drop it dont drag everywhere! i took it to the local shop to have it put on, i have no tools, plus i had them tac it in place. all around a great product and no complaints so far!
i was hoping around 265ish, but honestly i didn't know what to expect, it dynoed 258 and 271, they told me a nice air filter, x pipe and predator would get me close to 300ish, i raced an auto ws6 last night and my "258" put me about a car infront of it till i slowed due to a car in front of me! so i guess it aint too bad for now.
i hope it was the weather, this was about an hour laters temp, "89°F Felt Like 99°F Updated Jul 18 05:45 p.m. CT UV Index: 1 Low Wind: From SSE at 7 mph Humidity: 64% Pressure: 29.95 in. Dew Point: 75°F" it was on a dyno jet, not sure bout the std or sae cause i dont have the print out with me - but whats the diff between the 2? its got about 12,750 ish, and i removed the silencer but still have factory paper filter in. which k&n drop in can i go with? and can i get it at the auto zone?
