Mach 1's are quick cars. They run in the weaker LS1 range. They usually run between 13.6-13.8...

The auto's, the M5's are closer to 13.3-13.4 with a decent driver and some have gotten them to go quicker. They will give a LS1 a good run, most of the time a driver race till the speeds pick up then they will get pulled.

well this is all good news to me gives me a better idea of where my car sits after all the stuff i did when i got the motor rebuilt cause as soon as we started in my race he never stopped me from pulling on him and once i got past him ne never pulled on me and it was about 40 to 100.... now i just need to go to the track and get a decent launch and get some et's

If he's on tires He could hole shot you with those big gears, but after that it will be game over for him. Mach's do well from a dig, but you have too much power for him to over come

yeah i have to say hes done with the juice espicially unless he has a hidden 250 shot or something like that he might keep it close but i have to say you will definately win if what you listed is all he has.... only way he can win is if you break something .... BTW what do you put down with the gas if you know

Don't know yet, but it's a 200 shot.

I will also be changing out the cam. I will be replacing with this one

CC 236/244 duration, .608"/.613", 112lsa. Hopefully I can get in to the 420's HP with it
