How fast is my Mach??

EPIK · Feb 17, 2007

And another question. With the mods listed in my sig, what kind of RWHP should I be expecting when I go dyno it soon. So far the only engine mods are, MRT catted h pipe, Magnaflow catback, and an 85mm c&l mass air kit with the trueflow inlet pipe. I know its not much in the go fast department, but Im hoping to be at around 285-295??

doubt that

MyBloodRunsBlue · Feb 17, 2007

for the most part you could "keep up" with most of those cars or beat them except most turbo supras and some modded STIs

EPIK · Feb 17, 2007

Doubt what??? Am I aiming to high?? My car is supposed to have 305 at the crank, stock. The C&L kit supposedly gives you a 14-17 hp boost at the wheels, and I figure the exhaust has got to be worth at least 5 rwhp? I have never dyno'd any of my stangs so I dont know?

EPIK · Feb 17, 2007

So stock turbo supras are that fast?? I dont see many of those around here anyway, but I do see tons of LS1 cars. I could keep up with a C5? Arent those things a little lighter than my car, plus I thought they were pushing about 325 hp.

Take it to the drag strip if you really want to see what you and the car can do...it's always cool to have that time slip.

You can have big numbers at the dyno, but if you can't put it to the ground, your gonna get beat

My automatic Mach was running 14.0 to 14.1s bone stock and on a crappy, unprepped, going 14 feet uphill track here in Germany....finally after three years and a few mods I got it down to 12.8 on the same track.

I can't wait to get back to the States and see what it will do on a real track

Thanks for the info. I dont have much problem getting it to the ground with the few suspension and tire mods I have done, and my car is a 5 spd not an auto. I just wanted to see the dyno numbers. I really do need to take it to a the track soon. Beleive it or not, I have never ran any of my stangs at the track. It would be nice to get a mid 13 second time slip though for starters. Like I said I do alot of agressive street driving.

Hey, that's a nice ride that you have. I figure with your mods, your rwhp might be arround 275 or 280 in favorable conditions. Meaning cool air temperature and a non heat-soaked engine.
As far as LS1's go, be careful. If they get the jump on you at the wrong time and wrong speed, they will probably edge away from you in the end. If you race one from a light and the person doesn't know how to drive, you might get away from them. They have incredible top-end power.
I have a 2001 GT with a V2 Vortech (9lbs.) and the Bassani X-pipe with Magnaflow cat-back. The car was never dyno-tuned and I figure about 320 rwhp. I've run some LS1's and I beat them. However, it was not easy.

Here's a couple links for 1/4 mile times on Machs and thier mods:

Oh and you never know what the other guy has, his car may look stock or he says its stock or close to it ...but he could be straying or done extensive engine mods.

Thanx...Well if you have a blower, and u say it wasnt easy to beat an ls1, I dont think I stand a chance. I thought the ls1 f-bodys only had about 320 horses. And thats not rwhp. Im not too far from that. maybe 10 or so hp. I just looked up the Camaro specs and the SS was rated at 325 hp, & 350 ft lbs. of torque. 310 & 340 for the Z28 model. I guess all that torque makes all the difference.

I think you might have a chance depending on the conditions. The races I've had were all from a roll. I was in third gear and I pulled away from them. It was a rather slow pull though.

EPIK · Feb 17, 2007

I cant wait till I can afford to get a blower. I was looking into procharger, but Im not sure yet. I like that u dont have to tap into your oil pan with the procharger. I think it will put me up to about the 450 rwhp range at the recommended boost.

That's the bad thing about the Mach's, it's so expensive to supercharge them but I'm sure it's worth

Nice Mach 1 EPIK.
13.5-13.9 in the 1/4 mile isn't bad at all.
I hope you run across my STI.

Its not much more than supercharging any other modular mustang. Only the 5.0's are cheap to supercharge.

Thanks..R u in Norcal?? I didn't say I could take an STI, I was just curious cuz I know there not pushin much more hp stock than mine. But the AWD & turbo mean alot.

You should put a Vortech SQ trim or Procharger P1SC
on your Mach 1 if you want to be up to par with other cars.

I know that's why I supercharged my 90 GT first...I have a Nitrous Express kit I bought for the Mach waiting to be installed

The Mach respond to minor bolt on well though

How fast is my Mach??
