Mine is done by 6,000rpms. Reason for this is cam timing, and in the Machs no two cars will have all 4 cams timed the same. Some get real lucky, while others don't.

Well damn, I swear I've never heard of this, but it makes sense when I reflect back on a lot of Machs that never could trap very high. I've actually owned 3 Machs, and all three ran pretty decent. Two manuals and one automatic. The M5s were in the 108-110 range like I posted before (4.10s, ORX, etc), the auto was a solid 106 with just an ORX. Miss those damn cars.

Don't waste your money on headers man. Your not going to produce enough gain to justify the cost on that 4V. Get an ORX and stop there on the exhaust. I picked up 3 tenths and 3 mph on every one of my Machs with a mid pipe.

Word of advice..change you clutch and flywheel first...once you get longtubes, they have to be removed again if you want to change your clutch.
You could also get Bassani Midlengths though if you do not want to remove them to again..

You can remove the trans with the headers in place with Kooks or ARHs.

It is, all n/a Machs are if you compare them to ls cars. It's not that they run bad, they just don't run like a ls up top. Come run Notch and yo will see what I mean.....oh that's right Sepno yanked you up top pretty good.

3v's are turds....worse than a 4v.....that's pretty bad.

Learn to shift faster and it isn't a problem.
