I'm pretty sure the cobra cams are actually better. some mach owners have switched to 01 cobra cams.
The mach cams are more setup for FI since they are the exact cams that are in the 03/04 cobra's as well.

ORIGINAL: jmac72187

Yup, the Mach's have a slight edge due to gearing and hotter cams. The Mach has more low end torque and that give it a slight advantage.

EDIT: The Cobra also has a bit more weight due to IRS.
Ibelieve are mach's were set up to be N/A, being one of the reason'swhy they didnt just go ahead and slap an eaton on the mach powerplant as well.. Our compression ratio 10.1:1 is high compared to the Termie's 8.5:1...

over on svtperformance, i read in the mach section. that the mach cam's are better for low end torque. while the cobra cam's are for more hp in the upper rpm's

lol I was directing that last comment to 01snake

Are you talking about a Mach or a 01 Cobra?

Personally... a few things I would change would be the bumper. I don't like the way the 99-01 cobra bumpers look on a Mach, I sometimes like the way the 03-04 cobra bumpers look on a Mach. I personally feel the Mach should have it's own front bumper to match the lines and curves of the hood, while keeping chin spoiler. I LOVE the way the 03-04 Cobra spoiler looks on a Mach though. It really beefs up the rear end, evening out the beefy front end with the Mach 1 cowl hood.

+1 on the 03 spoiler

I love the way 01's look. My second favorite cobra (next to the 00 R)

And so what you two that called me out are saying is that a Mach one and an 01 cobra are basically the same. You're kidding right. They both have 4 valves. Thats where it ends.
