the mach is not forged and neither is the marauder. the cobra is since it is built for forced induction. if you want that kind of power i suggest your forge your internals (ie. rods,crank,etc.) but a stock 05 gt with a kb will still have about low 400ish hp to the flywheel at a very conservative 7-8 psi.
but to answer the first question the mach is the faster car. it's dohc heads breathe a lot better than the 05 gt heads. and at this point can be modded much more easily.

All the engine details are nice. However, as I consider the mod for my 05. But, I can't ignore my 5spd. tranny. Is this new to the tang platform?? Wonder what kind of power it can live under ??
If I am facing a complete drivetrain redo, then maybe it is cheaper to go Saleen, etc. I will do the labor myself. In the middle of my second Harley redo, and built the 440 cu.in. big block for my 72 Duster (it lived to 6200 rpm, on several occassions. If I don't have to go the shop labor, maybe I can do a killer 05 for 10-12K ??

The snorkel filter is designed to be another emissions device. It is fine to take it out but without a tune you will lose power. I have read that numerous times in many mags, and seen it on many websites.
