Glad to see youre back/still at it kinda lost track of ya after the rear end blew.

[@nickh316]

Pretty cool to see another procharged Mach in my area 🤙🏼

[@mikehawk120]

For the new edge, we all mostly went with the tri ax shifter back in the day. MGW is good too

[@marlostanfield1087]

Sick Machy!!!! Bro you need a shorty antenna tho! Lol

Very clean Stang 50 build u have...Im still upgrading my Stang Gt build as i go 🏁🏁

[@jameses6969]

Nice Procharger & blow off valve & them nice Tach gauges & interior & exterior ...Thats for sure some plans upgrade im planning for my stang 🏁

Nice Mach 1...needs headers! I own an 03 Cobra (whipple 2.3 equipped). My second choice would be the Mach 1 (03-04). I love the shaker setup!

[@CodyDriven]

It’ll be getting headers when i start my motor build soon! Thanks man!

[@cvestrand2259]

I’ve got both a termi swapped mach 1 with the shaker hood still, love it

What part of Talladega you from ?

[@Fiterpilot]

I want one of these cars so bad, but I haven't been able to find any reasonably close!

[@rygi23]

All that extra air/fuel with stock manifolds. Damn. You are going to get a huge boost in power if you ever get longtubes and a re-tune. Nice Mach well done👍

@@wallyc7349 why do people think there is like 100 horse to be gained with headers even on a boosted car? It helps but it ain't mandatory at all.

@@midnight347 because they think if a car gains 15rwhp NA from longtubes and retune then it must gain double that with boost. Most cars that already have boost, then install longtubes and get retuned, gain

He'll definitely pick up power across the powerband, especially up top with LTHs and a great tune. Not saying he'll gain 30 rwhp, but the gains will be noticeable at the strip.

[@wallyc7349]

@@chrism.728 Definitely not up top. Looking at around 10rwhp peak. Across the powerband he'll pick up some. $100 pulley swap is cheaper and easier to pick up 15-30rwhp vs $1000- $1500 longtubes/midpipe plus labor if needed.

[@sailingzigzags6511]

Appreciate that, I was wondering if the motor had stock internals. I’d like to do the pro charger on mine as well

[@CodyDriven]

You’ll love it if you get one, try to get D1sc, only a few bucks more and more room to grow if you want big power in the future

[@sailingzigzags6511]

@@CodyDriven man appreciate that and the reply..✊🏼

[@wallyc7349]

Stock internals are fine with a good tune keeping it under 12psi. I've been running 12psi on a stock longblock for 5 years on 93 and e85. Make sure you use a good tuner.

Do you live in Alabama? I am south of Birmingham. Have a 04 mach and would love to get some tips on upgrading mine. Much appreciated man!👊

Is this 500 wheel power?

Did u had to splice the wires for the MAF adapter? All 6 colored wires gotta connect?

No splicing for the maf connector! It was completely plug and play, thats why i chose that one!

Hey man nice car she sounds amazing. I am 20 years and I am also a full time college student I have the option of buying a 2004 Mach 1 for 16k and only 84k miles. Should I get it and is it something I can daily drive?

[@midnight347]

Of course you can daily it man it isn't a 69 mach it's an 03-04 lol. These cars aren't THAT old. I used to have a fbo Mach in 2012 I dailied it no problem. They're awesome cars. Seems like an OK deal in this market if it's in solid shape.

[@leecisneros109]

Question.. did you forged your internals before reaching 500?...

[@CodyDriven]

Nope, the torque is low enough that it should last quite a while at this level

[@leecisneros109]

Thanks, I'm debating where to put an eaton swap or Procharge on my mach.. someone told me I had to forged if I go with the eaton.

[@CodyDriven]

@@leecisneros109 keep it under 450 torque and you should be good with either one, good tune is a must

Thanks!! Cody! 😎

Man how do you have stock manifolds and exhaust with that work on it, that's crazy to me as a master mechanic, let her breathe, stage 2 clutch and aluminum driveshaft nice car man

[@wallyc7349]

Lol doesn't need longtubes. There is very little gain from them on a stock motor low hp boosted car. I make over 500rwhp through an auto on a stock longblock with stock manifolds.

[@jacobgomez2682]

@@wallyc7349 19 hp on mine and magnaflow x pipes

[@wallyc7349]

Every car is different. NA falls in the 15-20rwhp range. NA cars gain more from longtubes than boosted cars. My GT when it was NA gained 17rwhp 13rwtq from longtubes and retune. Tiny change for the cost of longtubes, labor, tune. With the Mach skipped all that little power stuff.

[@jacobgomez2682]

@@wallyc7349 to each it's own I have a bolt on mach but as a master tech install isnt bad plus an engine is like a vacuum more it can bring in and out the better, plus stock manifolds are horrible in comparison in my opinion, hardly flow, with nitrous I definetly feel the deference even without it,

[@wallyc7349]

@@jacobgomez2682 stock manifolds have been behind 800rwhp 4v's. They are not bad at all in a lower power stock motor less than 600rwhp setup. I had longtubes ( got a pair of brand new ARH's with midpipe free from a raffle I won) on my GT and then added the blower. With boost the car didn't make anymore power than cars with similar mods, psi, but with factory manifolds. Have seen multiple cars react the same way. Forced induction motor does not need the benefit of scavenging like an NA motor. Just saying that longtubes are absolutely not necessary to make good boosted power. Especially when you can find complete used boost kits around $3500 that'll put you right at 500rwhp.

@@CodyDriven Exactly, so back to my point crazy how the new Mach 1s are pulling 480 with no supercharger.

[@midnight347]

You're focusing on na or boosted but there's alot more to it. They have alot of tech, ton of rpm and compression of 12:1 vs the Mach that was 10:1 it has more displacement and more aggressive cams because of the vct and if basically comes with mid length headers factory. It's a much better setup you can see where the 150 hp came from. The Mach had about 330 hp in stock form at the flywheel. Not what it was rated but what it ACTUALLY had.

[@alexispatrick4373]

11 pounds on stock block? No problem?

Yup no issues!

500hp with a supercharger.... not anything special bud.

[@traz2.064]

not cool bro

[@midnight347]

500 at the tires...it's not anything special but it ain't bad for a 3300 lbs new edge mustang on a stock 20 year old 4.6 motor. I gaurantee its alot faster than you realize. It's not just about peak rwhp. Everyone always focuses on that but it's just one of many things that is important to the overall feel of something...
