RE: What is hole in CAI for?
Mine is an 03, right now I have it just covered with black tape a couple of times. I am having a hell of a time finding a plug that will fit. The hole is about the size of a dime.
Another thing, you sound knowledgable. I bought my mach 1 last year and it had all kinds of mods. I bought it from a dealership and they told me that the guy that owned it before had it dynoed at 400HP. Some of the mods I know of are a shift kit(it is automatic), BBK CAI, 4.10 gears, New exhaust. What other mods could it have to get it to 400. What does it start at. The engine is 4.6L DOHC. Could the throttle body be changed? I measured the holes and they appear to be 2" each. I dont know alot. Could you helpout, please. Here is a pic of the throttle body.

Yes you can change the throttle body. Companies make new ones for the machs, just look around.
