Looks good if it really makes 50HP, but @ $2600 you are entering force induction territory, with a minimum 100+ HP

That's actually cheaper than buying it all seperately, even using RPM Outlet.

looks like a good deal, but after that a blower would really replace some of that stuff. It depends on what you want to do later

Think ahead to the future. Do you really wanna spend $2600 on this now, plus another $5000 or more on a S/C, or do you plan on staying N/A? If you plan on staying N/A, than yeah its a good buy. But for $2600, you could get:

C&L intake/tuner = $650
Long tube headers = $900
o/r midpipe = $175
catback exhaust = $400 or less
4.10 gears = $250 or less

So thats less than $2600 and I think the intake would be better and you could afford some gears.

Ok thanks guys i might just stay away from the package then or i might get it im still undecided. Now when you do the intake/tune do you have to do the 93 octane tune? Because i use to have a 04 mach1 and one of the main reason i got rid of it was because with gas going up premium was getting a little hard to afford because where i live at in the south suburbs of Chicago premium is $4.03 a gallon.

No offense, but if you're really that worried about gas prices, you should not be putting $2600 into performance parts on your car.... JMO

The package doesn't appear to be that bad. However, I had about the same thing priced for my car. It was a little different. JBA LT Headers and mid pipe with High flow cats (Emissions suck), C&L or JLT intake, Gears, and Diablosport tuner with a custom duno tune and my price was $2,700.00 installed by one of the better shops here in Texas.

I would think you could do better on the price if you were doing it yourself but that just IMO.
