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.

Cool Re: Need Mach1 Modification Advice, Please!

I Bleed Blue, Thanks for the reply. We've decided to go with 410's and the worst thing that could happen would be having to change them again. Couple hours of labor! oh well. Plus we 're going with the Pro 50 shifter with an after market adjustable handle. How about a picture of your car? We don't have one to post yet, ours is white with black stripe. Would like to do something different with the stripe, any ideas? Where do you live? We live on the California/ Oregon border. We have a foot of snow can't even drive the Mach right now!!!!!!!!!! But we can go hunting in the Dodge.

Cowboy, can't help you with the stripe as I'm kind of a default stock guy. Mine didn't have the IUP so I put on the brushed AC and shifter bezel with ring, also put Stainless pedals as well as Bullitt fuel door. The only other ext mod I'm going to make is chrome Mach 1 wheels. Oh, and I don't have a digital camera so no pics but it is Azure Blue. Also I live in Kansas and haven't got to drive much because of Ice.
