They definitely aren't a Termi but they make decent power for mods. They can do 320+ with bolt ons and a local guy here put 480 down at redline with his Procharger and his custom piping.
Yup, we're far from termis hp #s, but I thought our Machs were 320+ hp bonestock. Rwhp dyno is high 270s, 1/4 mi. trap 105. Both 15-16% drivetrain loss rule and weight/ET/trap mph calculator put the crank hp right around 325. Someone correct a brother if I'm off a lil...or alot.

I am talking 320 at the wheels.

I have seen stock dynos anywhere from high 260's to high 280's.

With an o/r H, catback and drag radials I trapped a 109.11 which is decent.

A Mach doesn't need much to hit 11's if you can drive extremely well. A friend of mine's Mach has gone 11.88s with full exhaust, Hurst short throw, canned Diablo tune, and UPR upper and lower control arms. Decent bolt ons, but pretty amazing considering guys with power adders aren't hitting his numbers.
