Iām going to looking into doing it myself with a buddy, but there is also a performance shop in town that does work on Fords/Chevys so Iāll see what they quote for labor. Any tips on self install?
Thinking it is finally time to add long tubes and tune, has anyone run a similar set up on their Mach 1 or have any recommendations?
Currently these are the options/combo that I am leaning towards:
⢠Stainless Works/Stainless Power 1 7/8 catted long tube headers factory connect (currently have...
I'm working on creating a new thread/post sharing photos of how the conversion was done. I'll share a link when I get to it. Pretty straight forward though, essentially you will have to remove the factory "Powered By Ford" trim brackets, drill holes in the cover towards the back to have access...
Hello all, I have finally come to a point where I am ready to take the next step in power/performance with my Mach 1 and throw on a set of longtube headers as well as a 91/E85 tune. This is my first modern mustang and therefore my first time diving into aftermarket tunes. I've had the car for...
Changed up the engine bay a bit, lightly modified a GEN4 engine cover and added a coolant tank reservoir cover. Pretty happy with how it turned out. This āmodā does require you to remove the factory āPowered By Fordā bracket pieces.
As an owner of a grabber blue Mach 1, I am automatically inclined to recommend the Mach 1 over the PP2 lol. However, since you asked for an objective opinion on the two cars here it is.
The Performance Pack 2 is an excellent and pretty rare car from Ford and a slight step up from the PP1. With...
Grabber blue was a no brainer for me since I also have a classic in the same color. However, if I didnāt have the classic it would have been a hard choice between grabber blue, mischievous purple and eruption green when I ordered
Now that we are back to decent weather Iām able to get the car out more. Recently added GT500 side skirt extensions and white Mach 1 lettering for the hood stripe. Looking to add some carbon fiber flair to the interior here soon
Guilty as charged haha, Increased the vibrance just a little to get the blue to come out of the shade. Itās not cranked to the max but I certainly can do that and share š
Dealers choice to be honest, your center dash gauges should already show you Oil Pressure and Oil Temp (a temp option I wish I had in my Mach 1). When you toggle down/up you will see G-Force and another screen showing Inlet temp, Manifold Charge Temp (MCT), Vacuum/Boost and Air/Fuel Ratio. So...
What track are you going to? I've tracked my Mach 1 a couple times but am still pretty novice to the sport so there may be more experienced guys with better recommendations/tips in general or specific to GT500. These are just my opinions based on what I have learned so far, and I am sure you are...
IMO if you are pulling the springs, you might as well get some camber plates while you're at it to help make future alignments/adjustments easier. They can be very helpful, especially if you ever plan on attending track days or autocross events with the car. Steeda, Maximum Motorsports and...
I daily drive my Mach 1 with the Steeda dual rates and camber plates. I didn't notice any major increase in ride harshness after swapping out the stock springs. In my opinion they are great for street use as well as spirited/track driving. They perform phenomenally at Ozark International Raceway...
Got it two 1x5ft rolls from Amazon and followed a couple DIY videos on youtube that were on it.
VVIVID Epoxy High Gloss Carbon Vinyl Automotive Wrap Film DIY Easy to Install No Mess (1ft x 5ft, Black)...
A Dark Horse owner and I both experienced this same issue when taking our cars out to Ozarks International Raceway. The 10speed is a great transmission (especially for roll racing) but for some reason whoever wrote/approved the tune for it clearly did not account for elevation change (or they...
Wrapped the dash bezel in a high gloss carbon fiber vinyl. I wanted to see what it looked like and if I liked it before buying a real one. For $30 and a few hours of my time, I am pretty happy with the results. Think I'll stick with it as is for now and swap to a real one down the road when I...
I think the jury is still out on the Dark Horse, it is certainly a very capable track car and a slight improvement over the Mach 1, but I have not met anyone yet who said the Dark Horse is better than either of its predecessors. A lot of it really comes down to driver skill, tire compound and...
