Default Re: Need Mach1 Modification Advice, Please!

Cowboy, when I bought my 03 Mach 1 it already had a catted x-pipe, 2 chamber flowmasters, 4:10 gear, and short throw shifter. Can't name brand names as I haven't been able to get under the car yet nor have I tore into the shifter. Unofficially my car will run in the high 12's to low 13's depending on track. At 60 mph I'm wrapping 2K and at 70 mph I'm wrapping 2300. Here is the downfall of 4:10's. Great for racing but geared too low for daily driver. I don't use first gear unless I'm getting ready to run. Also the 4:10 forces you to stay in your power range which burns more gas. Sorry this is so lengthy and it's just my opinion.
