Just giving you some insight :tup
If I had to list the best mod I did on the V6, it was the Cobra brake upgrade. Thanks for the info, I'm hoping to run better than 14.06 next time I go.. although I was stock with drag radials that wouldn't hook. |

The whole brake thing is that I go straight and yes I need to stop. That is the main thing. lol good luck next time out and make sure you pop over to the red MAch with the centerline convos and say hi. I'd appreciate that. |
with those times...the 12.90 index in osca is calling your name...

Just curious, what's the difference between the 96-98 Cobras and the Mach 1 that makes the Mach 1 almost a second faster? As far as I know, they have the same power, Mach 1 is slightly heavier, gear ratios are 3.27 and 3.55 which isn't that much of a difference 1/4 mile time wise... Is it the suspension? The shaker hood giving some more high end power?
I was trying to figure this out all last night. |

I was trying to figure this out all last night. Here is a quote about the Mach from the mag Mustang Monthly. "Some people assume that the Mach 1's four-valve engine is identical to the DOHC 4.6 used in the '01 Cobra. True and false. Basically, it's the same engine, except for the Mach 1, Team Mustang enhanced the performance with high-flow four-valve heads, higher compression, new cams (from the 5.4 Navigator, reportedly with the same lift as the '01 Cobra cams but with different overlap and duration), revised calibrations, and improved exhaust manifolds that are also port-matched to the heads. The result is, well, actually less advertised horsepower than the '01 Cobra--305 to 320--something that may be attributed to the Cobra's marketing status as the top-of-the-line performance Mustang." |
Yeah I saw the different heads/cams, etc and kept seeing that it had the same power right around the same points. So it's basically underrated.
I guess I have a bit of catching up to do still. Once I get paid for an $800 job I did over 6 months ago I should be able to get a few goodies. At this rate I don't think I'll ever pay the car off though... :LOL: I suppose I can go until winter and stop modding it while it's in storage and then pay it off then. :LOL: |
