New Project - 2003 Torch Red Mach 1
- Thread starter TTSaleen
- Start date
I love how you can barely tell!
Right off the street with my start up tune, the car laid down 400rwhp and 8 pounds of boost.
I swapped the 3.0 upper for a 2.8 upper pulley.
Caleb adjusted the tune by adding more timing.
Air/fuel was around 11.2. Timing was 17 degrees. Final boost was 10 pounds.
Car responded with 472rwhp and 400rwtq!
I was very pleased with the results. Considering I am running the underdrive 6.5" lower crank pulley!
Car drives like a champ! I love it with the 4.10 gears!
Video coming soon.

This. Or when owners flat black the decklid between the taillights. I wanted to do it to mine when I had it but never had the chance to.
Not gonna happen. I actually don't like that!
Thanks!
Not my style.
Here's the latest video!

How far do you plan to take the Mach 1 in terms of HP.
Right now I could swap the lower crank pulley to a stock diameter (have the underdrive on it currently) and bring the torque up to match the horsepower.
However I think I am going to leave it like it is to keep the rods in check.
After I build a shortblock, the goal will be 600-700rwhp with a larger blower.

I like what you've done so far and I'm sure the finished setup will be impressive. The new intro for your videos is badass, awesome quality thanks for sharing.
BTW, I have to ask. Do you miss the Saleen?
Thanks again,
Michael Plummer
I appreciate the feedback!
Yes I miss the sheer outrageousness of the black TTSaleen!
Ha!

Nice Mach, looks super clean! Like NEW! 
That is so awesome man!
I know the feeling, I can't believe you sold that car after how long you had it and how much time and money you had in it.
I parted out my Boosted 97 Cobra in August 2013 to move out here to TX.
I am actually hoping when I'm ready to get back into another Mustang that I can get ahold of a clean Mach 1.
Until then I guess I have to save my pennies for a house and enjoy the little things.
Odds are I will continue to lurk here and keep up with what everyone is up to considering I have nothing better to do.:thumbsup:

Today was my wife's 40th birthday.
Got her to pose with my Mach.
We've been together 18 years and she puts up with my horsepower addiction!
She drives the 08 GT500! Ha!
Nothing more important than family, friends and country.
Here's some of the last pictures of the Mighty Mach 1!!!!!
Took it to Apex Car show this past weekend and placed in the Top 75.
Car looked good out there with my wife's GT500 and my neighbor's 5.0 LX!
I got a cash offer on the car that same afternoon! LOL!
It took me a few days to make up my mind, but I decided to part with my NEWLY finished project!
Car turned out great! Just wish I could have driven it a little more since completion!
Now on to a new Project!!!!
