HP GT vs MACH 1

[joe603]

The rated HP in the MACH 1 is 480...GT is 460. What gives the MACH 1 the 20 extra ponies? Is it just the FP intake and tune?

GT350 intake manifold, larger throttle body, GT350 style intake system, and ECU tweak.

Same parts as the 19-20 Bullitt.

powdered unicorn horn dispenser for that occassional extra boost.

The sweet emblems. They are like 5hp each.

all built on the same line. in addition to a few extra parts, ford has a priest come in and bless the mach 1 motors. the radiators are actually prefilled at the factory with holy water as it helps them to stay cool on track. not an accident that the mach 1 beat the gt350R at VIR......

I think the Mach 1 sill plates offer at least 10 each.

Same torque at same rpm yet 20 more HP also at same rpm. Aliens.

V8 is just two detuned Ecoboost in V formation haha

So wait, ive got a twin turbo and didnt know it!?

I bet most of the HP is coming from the throttle body and tune.

I had anyway tuned my GT and love it. Been wondering if the Mach 1 tunes gain more. Been told not to bother with the GT350 I'M and M1 TB

uh all 20 of it is.

The Ford tune/throttle body/CAI requires 91 octane, the Mach 1 does not. I believe most of the 20HP comes from marketing.

The GT350 IM has shorter runners than the GTs, will make slightly more power but above 7k rpm. The FP tune can make the same power (I’m guessing) via more aggressive timing since the deal is, the owner is obligated to use 91+. The M1/Bullitt has no such agreement (= warranty requirement).

Ford was NOT pulling a fast one on all those Bullitt/Mach1 owners when they included the GT350 IM instead of the cheaper/higher volume/ would make more profit for Ford 18+ IM. But the difference is small, about 4% in power. About the same power difference as between the 08 GT and Bullitt.

same PEAK torque at the same previously reported RPM. The extra PEAK 20HP just means the torque at that PEAK HP point is sligthly higher than it was before. It's all nonsense. But no worries, Ford thought better of it and took 10HP back off the table for 2022 so there would be less angst, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Hmm, what is the 'comfort animal' for those feeling tortured over HP figures from one model year to the next?

I was being diplomatic.
