What did it run in the 1/4 stock for ya?You captured my info from the gen3 n/a thread incorrectly. My 445 stock number is backed up with a sheet and a 1/4 mile slip. Also I have no aftermarket CAI, just a drop in K&N filter. Funny how you list it as "suspect" haha. The shop calling it a factory freak isn't implying it's suspect or I'm lying.
My 472.03 also lists CAI but again, I don't have one...just the drop-in.
My best with stock tune on bias ply rear tires with 17x9 bullets, skinnies in front, K&N drop-in, and BMR IRS goodies was 11.32 @ 123. I also ran 11.55/11.56 @ 121 without the skinnies and with passenger seat in (again, stock tune).What did it run in the 1/4 stock for ya?
Just a few points, but I don't really know how much they will affect your viewpoint / interpretation of that article :Not a Mach 1 topic discussed, but I find it quite informative on where the GT350 manifold stands and what it adds to the mach 1.

Now, I was wondering why there's a clear difference in the low rpms between normal and track mode, but I guess this review answers my question. Obviously track mode is tuned for mid-high rpm, so running above 4500k produces the most power. Normal and sport+ seem to be in the 'standart' GT manifold tune with boost of power in low rpms.
Another thing is that it seems the GT350 manifold is most balanced, although not highest performer. It also makes sense as it is most versatile across various purposes, so again I think this makes the Mach 1 best of both worlds.
I'm not into technical details how things actually work, I just feel the car while driving and trying to figure out why it behaves the way it does.Just a few points, but I don't really know how much they will affect your viewpoint / interpretation of that article :
I'm happy to be educated either way on this
- It was written in 2016 so I believe the GT manifold will be the old / pre facelift type.
- I understand the facelift 18+ GT manifold is a considerable improvement over the 15-17 GT manifold that was tested ?
- I'm not completely sure how the drive modes differ in tuning, but I think your comment on the Mach normal and sport tune being the GT tune are well off.
- I 'think' the modes have more of an effect on throttle response, gearbox tuning (if A10), exhaust mode and magneride settings rather then providing a different power / torque curve.
- I 'suspect' a WOT power run in either normal, sport or track would produce a identical power / torque curve.

Finally got around to doing this.I will likely be doing 3 dyno runs soon:
1) Bone stock
2) Bone stock sans HC trap
3) With Kooks 1-7/8" LTH and Steeda H-pipe installed (with a tune)
I'll post results once I have them.
