It will certainly be getting a s/c of some kind as soon as possible. I'm a poor college student, I have to go in stages.

Somebody else do a quick search for the Mach1 rated HP, everywhere i look is 305 and i'm getting pissed lol

Here you go. I read somewhere that 03/04 mach's were rated at 315/320. but right here is says 305 for 03 and 04.

Yeah, 305 is what it was rated. I read one sentence on that site though that made me stop reading, "The Mach 1 offered a 305hp version of the 4.6L found in the GT." WRONG lol

i dont know if theres any truth to this but i heard that the machs were under rated and really did put out around 320.

machs are pretty damn close to the 99/01 cobra stock for stock.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Yeah i always figured the mach would be more like 320 since that's what the 01 cobra was, didn't make sense they'd go backwards...

how expensive are irmc or imrc deletes? ?!?

 

[Hoseitdown]

^^^ and what the hell are they?

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

The IRMC were used in the 96-98 Cobra's and the Lincolns. Basically it is a valve that opens the secondary intake port at 3250RPM's.

The way I understand it is that the heads flow to good at low RPM's and kill your low end torque. So Ford installed these flappers to shut the air flow at lower RPM's.

Here is a quick write up on replacing the IMRC actuator and cleaning the secondary ports.

I don't know for sure. I did not do mine yet. But I would imagine they have some kind of spacer plate to fill the gap. Then you have to have the tuner shut it down in the computer so It does not constantly throw a code.

But like I said, I am not sure.
