New guy w/ a 2004 Mach1

bababuschka · 10-16-2011, 03:24 PM

Just found this forum a couple days ago. I am in the Air Force and have been in CHS sine 2004, currently reside in Summerville. Picked up the Mach1 in December of 2008 with 12K miles on it. It is Competition Orange, now has 32K on the odometer. Looking forward to getting out to the track next year and picking up some pointers on 1/8th mile racing. The car was stock except for a set of black w/ chrome lip bullitts that were on from the previous owner.

Current mods - JLT RAI, MGW short throw, Borla cat-back, N/X wet 100 shot w/ autometer cobalt series Electric Nitrous bottle pressure, Fuel pressure gauges, and a 10Lb bottle w/ warmer and blow down tube. Fuel pressure safety switch and window switch currently set for 3-6K RPM's, I plan on adjusting this by next year, and a cup holder control panel w/ switches to control everything. I think that is it for the N/X kit. Also have a 1/2" Intake spacer from PHP.

I am having the rear-end built when I get home and have all the parts waiting on me. Moser 31 spline axle's w/ studs, Motive 4.30's, Ford Racing Diff cover, Detroit True Trac Diff, install/bearing kit. I also picked up a SCT SF3/X3 Handheld tuner w/ the Bama tunes, so we will see how the e-mail tune works out.

I still have to pick up some tr6 plugs and diff fluid. Everything will be done at HHP racing for the install, they did my nitrous kit and everything has been flawless so far, never had a chance to put a bottle through her so it will be interesting to see what she lays down.

Well, I think thats it for now. I am laying everything out there because I do not plan on racing for money and hustling, and I do not care if everyone knows what is done. Thanks for reading.

Also, it is a Ford Mustang if anyone was wondering. I know not everyone has heard of a Mach1 and I get asked if it's a GT half the time, and then I get the " Ford hasn't made a Mach1 since 1978" blah blah blah.....

Did you make it down to CHS now? I remember talking to you last year about it, I am going to give Chief Hamilton a call when I get back and he might bring the Shelby over to HHP when I throw mine on the dyno, you are more than welcome to come.

Yes sir, Charleston. I won't make it down there that day, after I get back and get everything installed I will set up an appointment for the Mach to get on the dyno and Chief might go up there that day with his Shelby, this won't be till the mid-end November.
