My wife just won $700,000... and she's gonna let me do whatever I want to my car. Yes, thats not a typo. $700,000! Most of that will be spent buying a house, but I plan on dumping something around $15,000 into my mach1. Some things I want to consider...
What risks will I take boring out my motor, and stroking it to 302 CID AND supercharging it? I'm allready gonna get some lower c/r pistons, Im looking between 9.1:1 and 9.5:1 to allow somewhere near 20 psi. (Procharger F1A kit with 4" race pulley... or maybe something a little bit milder)
Also, Does anyone know what saftey mods I'll need for NMRA/NHRA circuts running an ET below 11.49? Or maybe where I can get a copy of the rules/regs online?
Lastly, I was thinking of an all steeda suspension, but Im open to ideas..
Set in stone are this:
VT Engines Comp custom grind cams
VT Engines port/polish job
VT Engines Forged rotating Assy (incl a main support system)
Tremec T56 Viper spec tranny, bellhousing to rear end.
17x10.5 Black Bullitts with MT 315/40/17 D/Rs
Suggested parts are:
Steeda Gtrac suspension, stage 1-3
ATI Procharger P-D1-SC (or F1A)
Steeda power pipe, adapted to the Procharger
JBA Cat4ward headers
Eaton Posilok diff
31 spline Mosers
Some various billet interior upgrades
Possible change the front fascia, though I might stay stock to betray the sneakiness.
Oh and if you're gonna write "send me the money" dont bother posting, sorry to sound like an a**, but I know someone will say it.
(Yea, we're gonna get a 07 Shelby GT 500 as well, but Im gonna keep that thing stock and use it for car shows:P)

Call hellion and make 800+ at the wheels on a streetable setup.
You don't even need to build the motor as much as you are thinking. MM&FF did a nearly bone stock 03 test with just hte hellion kit and it made I think over 800 WHP.
4V + turbo + boltons = teh win!

..or buy a z06 & GT 500 -- best of both worlds.
sell the mach 1.

it will be worth a lot one day considering they only made like 20,000 of them.

Trust me, the mach 1 is going nowhere. except my garage im gonna build :P I would go turbo, but you loose so much sound... sound is important to me as much as power. i see a stang and i want to hear it, not some blowoff vavle. Yes I know the twin turbo is an insane amount of power, but the s/c should be enough for me :P

Some sweepstakes thing, I saw the check and I was like. WOW. I didnt believe it, but its being processed now. Oh, and I am getting a cobra. 2003 Black SVT with some mods (435 rwhp, 410 rwtq, dynojet) with 45,000 miles for $20,800. (Personal friend) That will be my DD car :P The mach is gonna be evil :P And we plan on investing 99% of it. We arent buying the house for about 5 more years (Its her grandfathers house, we're gonna buy out the mortage). So we're paying off all the debt we have now, I get some green to play around with, and the rest is going into mutual funds and CDs. We're also gonna hire a financial planner so we don't blow through all the cash in a year. As well as setting up college fund for my kid... We got it all planned :P
Oh and if you read about it, after taxes and such, we'll be investing around 450,000. Is that "go big or go home" enough :P

Fk the sound anyway. You really should go pick up the issue of MM&FF where they did the hellion install, and look at the way they descibed the first test run. If your impressing guys that drive 10 second foxes to work everyday, you must be getting something done.
