Shame on you other MACH1 owners giving the poor LS1's heads up about us!
A LS1 has to have MANY mods(or giggle gass) to beat me!
Never lost to a stock LS1 at the track or street!

You wouldn't last 5 minutes against most of the guys on this site.
Nice car though. I love Mach 1s.

Most on this board would last long against my ProStreet 69F100! I should call it ProStrip! It's not much of a street truck any more. Ya know how the mod bug can bite!
There's always someone faster!

Wow, what a Mach migration to ls1tech! Welcome. You guys really are good. I didn't find out how fast you were until earlier in this thread. Well, now I know you're not like the Bullitt, w/ only appearance stuff added to a GT. I'll be lookin for you guys now.

My lowly 90 GT took out my friends 02 Formula, Good races and yes you definitely need a little reaction and launching practice, of course this is advice coming from a guy that can't drive much better than you lol.

Honestly though, I am starting to like Mach's a bit. I went for a ride in a turbo Mach 1 recently. It pulled pretty hard. Not like my Cobra, but very respectable. It looked mean too...18x10's out back with 315 BFG DR's.

Turbo Mach1??? Nice. Needs to be blown instead of turboed though. A nice ATI under the hood 
Personally I'll just stick with my crappy 240rwhp for now until I get my cage (stupid IHRA/NHRA regulations and their damn 4point bar regulations). Time to talk to my suppliers about sponsorships

Power across the whole band not just over a certain RPM, which turbos are known for in most cases. I've seen a few twin turbo setups that run nice on stangs (and also john hennessey's setup on the viper), but in most cases I've seen better horsepower numbers with superchargers.

this thread is too long ... and I haven’t kept up on the last couple pages, sooooo I'm goin to throw in a little excerpt from the simpsons....
homer: "wait a minute ... I'm not signing anything until I read it, or someone gives me the gist of it."
haha, gotta love that show.

It's not about how much power you put down, it's where you put it down in the graph
Turbo cars have more average horsepower than blower cars... here's an example:RPM----Blower---Turbo
2000----100hp----100hp
3000----200hp----200hp
4000----300hp----450hp
5000----400hp----450hp
6000----500hp----450hp
Of course it's not very realistic, but you get the picture. Turbos generally produce better times with large-stroke V-8 powered cars because of the gobs of lowend torque, but they are significantly harder to tune and maintain than a blower setup, and are also much harder to install (Which is why blowers are more popular on the street than turbo cars).
Btw, please don't mention the name Hennessey around here. Most of us would love to stomp his ***** in.
