    Adding a few things

    Well I'm changing a few thing in the Mach and redoing the tune. I'm hoping for some better numbers on the bottle now that I have a T/C and trans that will hold it. After its finished I plan to hit the track, A LOT! If anyone is interested in going to the track anytime soon let me know. I plan on going with in the next two weeks.


    Things that have changed:

    *Billet T/C with 3500 stall
    *Built 4R70W trans
    *better tranny cooler
    *MSD digital window switch for the bottle
    *purge for the bottle (I still need a bottle warmer)
    *bigger air filter
    *LCAs
    *new DR's
    *new tunes for the bottle and N/A
    *maybe front struts - 5 way tokico drags
    *maybe a bigger MAF it just depends if it helps any on the dyno


    Hopefully this will finally get me in the 12's N/A and 11's on the bottle.

    * Drag struts installed *

    Every since I installed the new T/C and trans ( which kick @$$ ) I have had a horrible time getting traction . It seems the billet T/C added alittle to much and weight toward the front of the car so it wouldn't transfer weight as well anymore. So I installed a set of Tokico 5way drag struts on my Mach tonight. Last time I went to the track I was spinning for about 20ft when it hit second and around 10ft in third on the street it was even worse. After the install tonight I set the strut on the softest setting and went for a quick test drive. WOW did they make a huge difference, from a dead stop on cold tires it lifted the front like I wanted and spun alittle ( maybe 5 or 6 ft) then when it shifted to second gear all it did was chirp the tires . I let out of it shortly after hitting second gear, after all I was on the street and not the track. Finally its starting to look like I'll be able to get the traction I've been looking for. Now I cann't wait to install the rest of my goodies and head to the track! I see a new best N/A run coming very soon for my Mach.

    How does it feel with the struts on a stiffer setting for street duty?
