Mach 1 with a Whipple?

[Brazenbuck]

Extremely interested Zach. I've already had conversations with Lebanon Ford in Ohio about this. I will be getting a Mach 1 thru you, and if you handle the Whipple also - it would save me a lot of hassle. Not sure if it allows the strut brace, but who cares. Lebanon also offers the Roush supercharger, which allows a 3 year warranty. I would place my order with it, so it's installed when I pick it up, especially if there's a warranty.

Roush isn’t going to produce a tune for the Mach 1, so you’d need a custom tune which voids Roush’s warranty. FWIW, Edelbrock is saying the same thing with their kit. I’d love to know what’s so different between a base Bullit/Mach 1 tune and the GT.

Good to know, thanks.

Yes, I think the whipple may be the way to go.

We'd love to do it. I think that'd be a fantastic setup!

Roush has already stated that they will not produce a kit for the Mach 1. As such, that option is off the table.

I think the issue is that in the Bullitt and likely the M 1, the existing CPU is different because of the intake, TB, CAI, so tuning, which is modifying the existing tune wouldn't work using a canned GT tune. So, like the 2009 and 2019 Bullitts, you need a custom tune.
It is possible the Ford will sell some many M 1 s that we will see Steeda or someone have a tune you can download, etc.

I think Zach will get some takers on the Whipple. It is the most finished, quality install I have ever seen. Every hose and part looks OEM. Clicks and snaps on. No grinding like Roush. Perfect tune.

Thought I would show you what the parts on my Whipple install looked like:

I'm going to do some homework.

I'm sure if we have enough demand we will be able to add an option to have everything with a factory quality installation, retain coverage and have it priced reasonably.

Are you running a stock Whipple tune? If so have you had any issues with it?

 

[cactus_kid]

Ah hah ! Just as I thought .................... The S/C is free. You pay for the stickers and the license plate frame.

It's already mentioned zero issues with the Whipple tune. I remember starting the car after I put the blower on and I was shocked that it just idled normally and I took it for a ride gently and I thought wow this is really good. Then I put my foot into it and I want oh my goodness!!!

Basically you nail the car and second or third gear at 60 miles an hour and you can break the pilot sports loose.

If you could pull this off I’d have you do it before I picked it up. If not I’d consider bringing back.

We'd probably need 4 volunteers total. 2 with a10 and 2 with the Tremec to make sure the tune was flawless.

Zack, When do you want mine back up there ? My calendar is clear till the 27th of May and I will reschedule that appt if need be.

One more piece of info. Assuming the M 1 has a similar active exhaust to the Bullitt for a minute. When the Whipple was on, the sound was incredible. Deep rumbling and even in cooler weather I just had to open the windows to hear it. Not horribly loud, but the best I have ever heard on any car including old muscle cars.

If you do the Whipple you will love the new exhaust note.
