Yes I thought so, its my close friends. We have raced before many times with just the mopar stage 1 and exhaust and I always pull on him by about 5-4 cars but now that he has the wastegate we have not run them yet but i feel like it will be neck and neck. Those turbo cars wake up big time with little mods from what i have seen.

Lol oh man nice you really drove that car like it was meant to be driven.

That's the only thing that bums me out about having an auto is I can get the rpms the 5 speed guys pull

Well, you could tune it to shift where ever you want, but either way the right converter in that auto would most likely embarrass any manual Mach at the track.

Yea I've done my research on them and it appears stock autos aren't fond of 6000 + rpms so for now I'll stick with my 6000 shifts since they're nice and firm with my tune. Maybe next year I'll be able to buy a bullet proof Trans and a nice convertor. I brought her home from storage last night and brought my friend who didn't think my drag radials made that much of a difference, it was like a driving a different car with them street tires lol

I'd love to get a shot to drive a 5sp Mach 1 around for a few weeks and make some DR passes.

I managed a 13.6 in my gear/exhaust 2v, which encourages me to believe I could get a Mach one into the 12.7-12.8 range.

By the way, Azure Blue, Comp Orage, and whichever Grey came on Machs are sexy ******

If I could change one factory option on my car it'd be the color. I friggin love comp orange and I'm not even into flashy colors. I said I'd get any color but red. And I got red lol

Ouch lol

Still sharp cars, and I'm seeing less of them now than ever.

I dont think mr syndicatez eats machs. Stone's 3V S197 was a pretty equivalent with that Mach and stone's other mach's and he absolutely wiped the asphalt with my car before I got my supercharger. Granted I was running a 93 octane tune on 87 fuel accidentally but regardless. Only thing worthwhile that syndicatez has on how my car was set up is 4.10s. I was still in 3.27s when stone and I raced his 3V S197.

I think you may have gotten bad info dude. Im pretty sure you have a 4R75W which is a slightly stronger version of the 4R70W. Our transmissions have absolutely no problems with RPMs. I run my GT out to 6200 and the only thing holding me back from going past that is my stock valve springs. I dunno how the Mach 1 stock valve springs are but thats likely your limiting factor. I have never heard of 4R70W/4R75W having any issues with RPMs. They are stout as hell and only go pop when your at ~600RWHP or more.
