[QUOTE]Originally posted by Throttle Stop: [QB] Nice Mach. I do have a couple of suggestions, if you want them. If not, no sweat. First, the Mach has gobs of power, as I'm sure you've found out. The big problem we have (I have a Dark Shadow 2003 Mach) is traction, or lack of. This is the first place we try and have folks improve. You can put more power out, but if all you're doing is spinning the tires, while it is fun, doesn't get you down the strip fast. Tires, lower control arms, and gears. The 32 valve loves to rev. 4.10:1 or even 4.30's arn't too much for them. And, if you're doing gears, do 31 spline axles and a good carrier. I recommend looking at non-clutch styles (gear only) as they'll last pretty much forever. Now, boost. Yes, we have some not-too-heatlthy rods and pistons, but with our compression, you really don't need much boost to make power. And remember, the less boost means less stress, which means longer life. Whichever route you take (turbo, NOS, supercharger) tho, the tune is the most important thing. A bad tune can/ will cost you engine. We ahve a 2003 Cobra in the shop with 2 pistons that got trashed because the car wasn't tuned after a smaller pulley was installed on the blower. However you go, good luck.
