With the 5 spds I say the average Joe can pull 13.5-13.6's stock. I think the fastest stock time was 13.1X
They do come in auto and I'd say higher 13's maybe low 14's for those. Could be a drivers race when you run him. Good luck. -Mark

Mach 1's are ls1 fast. However they make their power in the 1st 500-660 feet. The ls1 should own it on the top end, stay in it and you could pull it out in the last half.
I have a friend with an 03 mach 1, 5 spd. He has 4.11', axles, x pipe, cat back, and a 75 shot. On ET Drags, he runs 12.5 ish on spray, and low 13's motor. and his 60' is consistently below 1.8 ( that is the upper range of his 60' times).
They are fast fords, be careful.

A friend of mine has a 03 5 speed with a K&N cold air kit, X-pipe with catback exaust. His best run to date is 8.9 1/8 and 13.9 1/4 so far. He is not that bad of a driver either.

Infact i watched 2 03-04 cobras run last weekened at the 1/8 track and one ran a best of 8.3 and the other was a 8.4
Both had pulleys and other work also.
My wife bought an 04 Mach1 auto trans car. We took it to a charity drag race event in the cold October Michigan weather. It ran 13.74 at almost 101 mph totally stone stock. But remember this was a very good air day.

I know my 03 Cobra with a cat back, kb cold air kit, accufab throttle body, a 2.93 pulley at about 12psi and a full tune put down 438 to the ground.
I dont see a mach 1 putting down 440-460 on just a supercharger at 8psi.
Maybe I am wrong here.

I also think that your basic blower kit will either come with a 8# or 10# pulley. But 140-160rwhp is not uncommon when slapping on a centri on these 4v's. -Mark

Like it's been said...
Machs are nasty, especially from a dig. They are set up to pull hard of the line, but LS1s have a better top-end so the longer the race is the better for the LS1.
Stock times are anywhere in the mid/low 13s...depending on the driver.
