List all the modifications in which can be done to somehow increase performance out of our Mach 1's! I need ideas on what I should do or what route I should go!

Next in line for me is Ford Racing 4.10's, Ford Racing Aluminum Driveshaft, and PHP Intake Spacer.

If you weren't in Cali, I would say Long Tubes. I mean as for the bolt on's you have almost everything covered. You could add the Meziere Electric Water Pump.

I could care less about smog. I got people to cover that for me. LOL

That's pretty much every bolt-on for the Mach 1? What about throttle body? Do they do anything worth getting them for?

An aftermarket T/B will benefit you more if you are adding a power adder or NOS. I think for the money and what you would pick up N/A you be better off spending it somewhere else just my .02. If I would have stayed N/A I would have went with some gears and long tubes.

That's better! And I'm not just talking about N/A. What kind of power adders are out there and which is more superior then the next?

How about... Suspension? Driveline? Transmission?

Come on, guys! :D

That's not a bad idea. I would like to know whether or not there's a good enough increase in performance to get one because they're pretty pricey.

built motor from al papito(http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=63308)

full suspension from griggs(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzpDOFOvdek)

gt500 twin disc clutch and 6060 tranny

baer brakes

and your done!:D :beer: :idea: :bowdown:

LOL How much power can Al get? The link's not working for me either. And I think that I'd get Maximum Motorsports Max Grip Box setup instead of Griggs. I've heard more satisfied stories with MM. Isn't Griggs much more expensive as well?

if you have a blower or a turbo... there is an oval ring that mounts on the front of your intercooler... you have your nos bottle hooked up to it and sprays nos on your intercooler to get the air cooler.. ive seen it on cars, but havent seen before or after numbers off a dyno

I love the throttle response on mine on my Terminator, but I absolutely hate the hanging idle issue and my damn Predator keeps reading that there is something wrong with my TPS (Throttle Position Switch). My service engine light won't shut off!!! :cuss:

to be "track legal" you need a blow by tube for the bottle that exits the car..

A buddy of mine did and if I remember correctly he picked up like 11 rwhp after the electric water pump install. I guess not alot of HP for over $300???
