First mods to your Mach 1

[Zelek]

I have the A10 and it has the 3.55 gears vs the Tremec that will have the 3.73's. Don't really plan to do a whole lot of mods to the car, only what I have to to support the forced induction. I think stock fuel system can handle it, may do the resonator delete with X/H pipe. Was probably going to stay stock with drive train from tranny down to tires unless that HP level drives me to it.
Not going to be drag racing on the weekends or anything crazy like that, maybe a track day or 2 will be the limit of my hard use and abuse. Appreciate the info, seen a lot of talk about the Whipple but not too much on the Pro Charger.

Whipple will be fine for the A10 with 3.55's. It's just so much torque down low versus the Procharger. The Whipple will be more fun on the street overall.

Hood Struts and Resonator Delete/X-pipe

Then in a year its time for a full color change to DHG

Looks like I won't need a color change, the '22 looks to be coming in Eruption Green!!!

Hmm thinking about selling my handling package wheels & tires while they are still brand new (10 miles on them, replacing them with my winter set before driving the car again) and going with the black Ford Performance PP2 style instead... any opinions? Thinking it would look pretty good against the silver paint.

Just to temp you, I put a set of those on my GT earlier this year.

Thanks for the motivation LOL! Handling Package wheels sold and shipped, Cup 2’s gone too. FP PP2 black wheels due to arrive today, 305 and 315 PS4S are here, can’t wait to get these mounted and see how it looks!

They look so ridiculous sitting like that. When my set showed up I was sure they would never fit on the car. It actually cracked me up every time I walked in the garage and saw them sitting there before I got them mounted.

For reference……….

So FedEx just dropped off… one wheel. Rrrrrgh! Other 3 delayed dammit. Well after waiting 7 months for the car, another couple days for wheels shouldn’t be terrible.

dont worry mike they are on a container ship waiting to be unloaded. i'd say sometime in 2023 you'll have the full set

Ordered the HP lip moldings, rear splash guards, Ford's oil separator catch can and the black Gorilla lug nuts. Of course the lip moldings and oil separator are "on a national back order with no ETA"... Hopefully they'll manufacture them in the winter

What is actually involved in swapping out the gauge cluster? It is annoying that you have vacuum and not oil temp from the factory...

I think oil temp is one of the options for the gages that can be displayed in the digital IP

I have only been able to display oil pressure in Bars... The manual says that oil temp is available but I can seem to find it in the digital options... It's like the transmission temperature as well... Manual says it's available for the digital cluster but it doesn't present as an option to choose...

It's pretty straightforward for US cars, here's a nice video:

I like those wheels. Have you used those tires in the winter before? I would be curious to know how they do.
