Just picked up my Mach 1 this morning

[Canes76]

Like everyone here, I am pumped about Jet Fighter Grey with the Handing Package.

I was reading many of the threads, and it does not seem you have to mod this stang much...
I was going to buy this: https://www.jlosc.com/jl-oil-separator-3-0-passenger-side-2018-2021-mustang-gt-2019-bullitt/
Do I also need this? https://www.jlosc.com/jl-oil-separator-3-0-driver-side-2018-2021-mustang-gt-2019-bullitt/

Anything else I should maybe get, or something I should think about?

You don't really need the Drivers side separator unless you plan on going full send on a road coarse or other type of road racing events.

Step 1- Get yourself an E85 Tune from @Wengerd Performance.

Step 2- Save $ for Forced Induction.

Agree that the driver-side separator is not needed--unless you've a compulsive need for symmetry.

Lifting rails - saves trying to find those damned slots in the pinch welds when you lift the car to change tires, etc.

You might want to hold off for a 1,000 miles or so until you learn more about the car and what you might need or want.

I change my mind nearly constantly.

I’d vote Steeda full length jacking rails and Redline hood struts for sure, and then like @young at heart said, wait a few months and see what speaks to you.

If you are going to consider an E85 tune like @SheepDog suggested, you need to make sure you can get E that consistently tests near 85. If you don’t want to mess with fuel testing, I’m very happy with the Livernois flex fuel tune. A good safe and no-hassle balance between stock 93 octane and E85.

I vote hood struts!

Congrats and have fun! Steeda full length jacking rails are a good start. The rest depends on your budget...

These are two of the best, first mods!
I also did the FPP oil separater and resonator delete X-pipe in my first couple weeks.

I kept listening but nothing really spoke to me. Either I’m deaf, unimaginative or both.

Or, the car is pretty much perfect as-is and you are one of the few smart ones who doesn't feel the need to tinker with everything!

 

[MACHtobers Very Own]

Ditch the cup 2's if it came with them.

PPF and ceramic coating for me!!!

For me, it kinda is. It’s the perfect balance as is. I mean, I’d like painted stripes and tighter tolerances on the body parts, assembly and paint quality but other than that there isn’t anything I felt the need to change but it’s interesting to see what others do.

We are here to help - we have some great content on taking the Mach 1 to the next level:

Big congrats on the car, I think you are going to love it. I agree with the jacking rails. The hood struts, whatever. Pisses me off to replace the damned things every 4 years and the prop rod bothers me zero. I agree with the advice to spend some time with the car and see what you think it needs based on how you use it. If you don't track it a bunch, you'll be spending money on wheels and tires to swap on the PS2 so you aren't fighting tramlining all day every day.
