I want a mach 1. this is what i woul do
Full Exhaust , 4.10 gears , suspeniosn upgrade , tuner , upgraded FI/pump. the mach 1 mach makes 320hp stock , its already a BEAST. I think you should keep the stock engine and add bolt on. If you wanted forged internals , you should have gotten an 03 Cobra. |

YEA.. I SEE YOUR POINT... BUT THERE'S JUS SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHAKER HOOD AND MACH LOUVERS THAT ATTRACTED ME TO THE CAR.. PLUS THE PRICING ON THE COBRAS IN MY AREA JUS DIDNT FIT THE CARS... AND THE MACH 1 COMES WITH A STOCK 305HP...

RE: WHAT DO YOU THINK
dude, well from what i hear (and im looking at a hardcore short block build myself) you have some very good things goin...im asuming your keeping all dimensions of the borexstroke the same, which is good (personally id tell u to bore before you stroke because of the block characteristics)...couple that with some high flow FR500 or reworked heads with a f/i set up cam...your ready for any power your looking at...good choices
ps. if u could, whats so big bout the austrailian block? is that like a teksid or somethin? |
RE: WHAT DO YOU THINK
I own a '04 DSG Mach and I am perfectly happy with it being stock. I know I am the minority here on this subject though because most people want to mod theirs. Mine will be worth more in the future though. LOL
