99 T/A vs. Mach 1 pt.2 If u do a search in this section for the title "99 T/A vs. Mach 1" u can catch the first 25 pages and some 475 replies the initial thread originated when i first posted it some 6 months to a year ago.
The same exact blue Mach is in another big thread (different local author) titled "So i finally got to race a Mach!" - the dude seems to stir up quite a bit a stuff around here!
For those of you too lazy to read the initial thread (j/k 25 pgs long!) i drive a full bolt on auto all motor 99 MBM T/A. Ill keep short on explination but i am currently running the stock stall converter.
Around a year ago i ran into a blue and black Mach 1 mustang (black rims crome lip) that had a full bolt on setup on a 5spd (i do believe) its a manual anyway. Dude rapped off a mod list far longer than mine was (at the time) after we pulled over. He has headers, X pipe, full exhaust (sounds awesome) 4:10's, TB, CAI, 10''tires & im not sure about a tune. Then we raced 3 times and every time i killed him. Back then i was untuned, and had the LS1 intake and TB. All races were from a roll (30 or so cant remember) to 100 or so and same result each time. When we recapped the races on the side of the road he told me his 3rd syncro was jacked and tru or not that kinda took some pride outa the win. But this time...
So i met this badass chick at the PPV Packeou vs. Harris(?) boxing bbq party thing this last weekend and managed to get her to agree ona Sunday evening cruise thru town. I go pick her up and spend the entire time conversatin doin the speed limit lettin the jackasses go by. When i drop her off shes tellin me next time i better go fast & im like WOOOT! Ironically the very next day as we leave her parents house she got a healthy dose of it.
So i turn onto the main road payin attention to those legs in daisy dukes (its hot in Texas!!) beside me when the loud *** unmistakeable clap of a modded 4.6 jerks my attention. I see a blue and black Mach 1 w/black rims pacin slowly beside me rollin down his windows. Its 2 dudes my age (20-25). Although at first i didnt recognise him from before when the guy mentioned our prior race i remembered immideately. " Yea last time i couldnt shift my car but i got it fixed so lets do it again! " he says to me. I look over at her and shes like " your gonna race him right?!?! " I told him **** it - as long as we can go somewhere, & I followed him to a nearby spot that is actually a pretty good stretch. 1st run he got a fraction of a jump and my car didnt downshift (35 roll or so) but i reeled him from his rear q/p to about 1/4 car ahead before 110 or so. Second and last race he wanted to go even slower (BAD 4 him) like a 15-20 roll or so. This time we left at the same time with his front tire at about my front bumper, & my car downshifted. I pulled on him instantly and finished at about 110-115 ahead by 3 cars or so. Stopped to chuck tha deuce and say good run & the dudes brakes were pourin smoke. Hope its cause he was holdin em while we were racin LOL, J/K. Seriously tho he looked like he didnt believe me that the car didnt put down more than 330 on the dyno even now. Uh yea dude that means u have less
!! Wait... i must be sprayin!! HAHA J/K
So when its all said and done i look over at ol girl and she has the biggest ****** grin ive ever seen, & goes on all week about how badass it was (I say all week cause shes come back ever since!!!!!)

He would defintly have better gearing and less weight but more power i doudt that the mach is prob only putting down around 300rwhp maybe a bit more so i dont know how you think he would have more power

True. 
I think you are tad misinformed about machs my friend. A true Full exhaust, CAI, tuned mach will put down a good 315-320rwhp/330-335TQ.

I appreciate the kudos gentelmen and, ponygt65 make no mistake about it i think a Mach 1 in that particular color scheme is the one of the few stangs i wouldnt mind owning. They are faster than the new GT's and considering ive never raced a supercharged cobra thats about the closest ive had one hang. Dude was nice and car sounded great. He didnt spin tho - he had wide *** tires and the first race was like a 35-40 roll. In the shitty air we have out here i run 13.3@103-4 & a 8.5 @ 84 1/8th (in a 4500ft density altitude 3000ft actual) w/current setup, id say that car would run a 13.7-8 @100-01 & a 8.8-9 @ like 81-82 1/8th out here. BEFORE U COMMENT ON WHAT THESE CARS SHOULD RUN LEARN ABOUT DENSITY ALTITUDES!! It was pretty close - he just couldnt outshift the auto. Im on MT dr's so i wanna dig! It didnt matter tho.
U kno what - i promise ill have pics for ya in the next day or so of the very chic ive mentioned posing in the driver seat of the car i was in. No explination necessary - she wont be able to resist. Also, im proud to say - yo boy has gotten mo *** in the last week after all this went down than in the last year!!!! After some **** that cool u can do no wrong!!!

Thats it? For what they start with thats pretty good but I figured they'd put down more than that HP wise anyway. The torque seems about right but those HP numbers for as hard as those things spin isn't that great.

I wonder how a full bolt on Mach AUTO w/a well selected converter/gear would run??? Personally, i think they do alright for what they are. I think the 32v design is more efficient but the 4.6 dispalcement limits them from bein an LS1 killer. I like the 5.3-4? they put in the Cobra R but those are pretty rare. Anyway the DOHC 4.6 is a decent rival. The underdog from start to finish IMO but a fair competitor nonetheless. BTW i dunno if anyone else has ever sat inside a Mach but they are fukin PLUSH. Kinda like sittin ina GTO, compared to an F-body. Also i think that Mach did near as good a job hangin as a 24v Saleen i raced before. Saleen did better hangin above 80MPH tho. He froze at my bumper to 130. Unfortunately no hot babes were on board for that one.

Sorry about the hijack OP, good kills. Gotta agree with Mike though the Mach shoulda pulled better.

Add some cams and alittle bit of head work and you have 380rwhp
Add some bore and compression and you have 440rwhp
These motors are very easy to make alot of power with, it just takes alot of money and knowledge.
My g/f's Mach made 308rwhp and 333rwtq and her mods are only a intake spacer, CAI, O/R H pipe, and catback.
