Any mods? to any?

[killswitchracing]

Mach 1 had a hurst shifter and shaker hood, t/a has exhaust at the time.

What year was the Mullet mobile, Oh I mean Trans-Am :)

[killswitchracing]

01... call it what you want

Shaker hood aint a mod, it comes factory and does nothing for performance. the T/As ram air does more than the machs shaker.

[killswitchracing]

yes it is factory, but still it does more then a regular mustang would.

You sure that 12.7 TA wasn't on drag radials? I can see a 12.7 on tires. I've had 2 ls1 Z28s and an 04 GTO, so I'm no stranger to LS1 capability. I'm not arguing that the LS1 doesn't have the edge, but 9/10 times, its a drivers race between a Mach and any LS1 F-body.

@rangere3rd im not saying you are lieing, but those numbers seem a bit high. The ls1's came with 345-350 horse at the crank and the highest i have heard a completely stock ls1 put to the wheels is 330. It just doesnt seem likely that they would gain 30 rwhp with just electric waterpump.

@08candyzx6r I know what you mean, I just upgraded from a 2000 mustang v6 to a 2002 camaro SS, anything above 2500-3000 rpm and I have power on command. With the 6 speed it makes the top end past the 1/4 pretty damn fast. The mach 1 is a great car stock for stock against the LS1 though. I'd actually prefer a mach 1 over a 99 or 01 cobra.

@08candyzx6r seems a little high for just minor bolt ons..buddies 99' cobra with just about everything done to it as far as bolt ons just made between 300-310 rwhp; not sure on exact but just saying.

[rangere3rd]

not saying your wrong or lieing but you also got to look at there milage and dirty engines and alot of other things, gm high performance tested this last year they took 3 LS1's one from a vette one from a Trans am ws6 and one from a camaro ss and all three rean between 345 to 355 rwhp stock tunes and everything the only thing they did different was the put on electric water pumps

[08candyzx6r]

Not to sound cocky but I have also gone up againsts some really well built and tuned ls1's and they made me look like a bitch it was basically taking a geo against a lambo....

[08candyzx6r]

I have an 03 mach 1 with minor bolt ons plus RAI x-pipe mufflers suspension gears and a tune and she is 337rwhp and I can put a stock z-28 ls1 behind me in a 1/4 but anything outside the 1/4 its game over for me those ls1 motors really come alive in the higher rpm

@GATOWater I would never use a CAI.. RAI with a cutout in the air box for the shaker feeder for sure. the intake tube from the MAF to the TB is total shit in the Mach 1s Mine is going bye bye in the spring. If you do a good pull then get out and grab the tube from the shaker, its cold. Its definitely piping a lot of cold air into the air box for sure. Its not a big differnece but i wouldnt say it hurts. Plus, Its Fucking Cool... I love watching it move around in the hood on the road.

[DaBluedude100]

@rangere3rd not in my exp... ls1 was around 355 crank, 300 rw, ls2 400 crank, 335-340 wheel, LS3 426ish crank, 365 wheel. 

Thats based off of several vettes, a couple GTOs and a bunch of camaros...

[rangere3rd]

@Mach1Spd not to argue and shit but the LS2 is rated at 375RWHP not 400 the stock LS1's made 415 to the crank and made 355 to the wheels the LS2 made 435 to the crank and 375RWHP the LS3 made 460

[rangere3rd]

@SKitles888 the 01/02 trans ams, GTO's and corvettes, have the LS6 intake manifolds there's no difference between them
