ok here it is:

03 mach1..... i think its stock.... at most an exh system.

me:
94 fd with 3k on new rotary power streetported motor. my mods are intake, dp, exh, rb lightweight flywheel, act clutch, boost controller at 10.5 lbs.

i think i have a good chance. also, since i am still waiting on a tach and wont have one in time, can someone please tell me at what approx mph the redline's are in each gear?

1st--??
2nd--like 60??
3rd--like 100mph
4th--like 140mph
dont need 5th


thanks guy's........ might tape it..

 

What about the stock Tach?

 

it went out..... im getting a replacement but it wont be here until mid june. i ordered one from japan thats why... so does anyone know the approx mph for redline? i dont really need 4th...... im not going to go that fast. i guess 1-3 is all i need......... who knows it?

 

What's the point in asking a question like this? Armchair racing is all talk. Why don't you put your money where your pie hole is and just run. If you win, post in the Kills section. If you don't, then you know who your daddy is.

 

why not listen for the beep?
I know 1st is 40, and 3rd is like 105. Not sure about 2nd, maybe 70ish?

 

heh.. i cant hear my beep.. cars to loud.. secret to shifting any car.. know the engine and the sound the engine makes at a given rpm and set your shift point..

 

ok..... thanks for the help.. i cant hear my beep either.....car is toooo loud!

 

if you don't know when to shift without the tach... i will pretty much guarantee the Mach 1 will win.

you should be able to feel when the car stops producing power at higher RPMs.

 

mach1's are pretty quick

you're not racing for money right?

 

I've raced a 04 Mach 1 and won, I was just the better driver -=], we ran @ the drag strip against each other and my time was a 13.7 and his was 13.8, I won though -=).

 

If you have a manual FD with 4.10 gears in the diff first gear is ~38, 2nd ~64, 3rd ~98, 4th ~120 (based off 7000 rpm redline). Those numbers are off the top of my head. You can search the web and find the transmission gear ratios, you know your tire size and rear diff ratio. With that information search for a rpm/speed calculator and you'll be able to see your rpms at any speed in any gear.

 

roll or stoplight? its all about the driver, and the tires you guys are running

 

roll, i guess from 40 or so to 130....

as for feeling when the engine stops making power, i use to be able to tell but with the port, it just keeps pulling......

no im not racing for money...... its just for fun. then when i get the single, i will race his brother with the 490rwhp 03 cobra

 

rzo, dont forget to shoot me a pm after you have that new tach in there -heath

 

sure........ its going to be here approx 15th of this month..... so i will shoot you a pm when i get it!

 

can someone let me borrow their tach? PLEASE
