Got Mach back! I really like the results. Front bites a bit more with reduced body roll and rear doesn't float as much. Exactly what I expected! A worthwhile addition!

Was thinking about an aluminium driveshaft, Bilstein HD Shocks/Struts, and new seats for this year.

Did the Mach 1 come with an aluminum flywheel? Know my cobra didn't. I changed the flywheel and driveshaft at the same time on my cobra. Man, it changed the whole nature of the engine with how much quicker it rev'd through the range.

No, the Mach's did not come with an aluminium flywheel. I was thinking about getting one when it is time for a new clutch.

Neutral/2/Middle

Drove the Mach some more today and I am really enjoying how the car reacts! I think with the addition of Bilstein HD shocks/struts I will be happy with the the car's handling enough to begin focusing on POWER!!

And I am now thinking about a MM Steering Shaft to increase responsiveness.

With the factory headers you'll be fine. If you step up to aftermarket headers if the MM is as thick as my flaming river shaft you will have to massage the header tubes for it to fit

I'm am going to stay N/A. With mods I have researched I should get to ~330-340hp & ~310tq at rear wheels.
