Help With Mach 1 Mods

stah · August 23rd, 2010, 06:35 PM

So I'm about to start modding my Mach 1. I'm looking at getting the 4.10 gears and the SCT SF3 X3 from American Muscle.

However, when I bought my Mach 1 I knew it was modified some. From what I can tell, it's got at least a K&N Intake and Flowmaster Catback exhaust. I'm unsure about midpipe, though.

So, my questions are these:

-----

What does the stock midpipe look like?

If I had a modified midpipe and didn't tell the Bama tuner would it cause damage to my car?

Are there any other mods I should look for?

can you take pictures under the car.. lift it with the little jack and just take a pic. we will be able to tell you if it has an aftermarket mid pipe or not.. it normaly looks like an X even if its an H pipe it still kinda looks like an X. the factory one would be all rusted and shit.

yeah but the front ones are hard to see because they are high by the manifolds.. i dont really remember .

They're on the corners if I remember correctly. Should be able to see them if you jack the car up. To me the H looked like straight pipes with a little piece connecting them at the part that it gets closer together.

short throw shifter and a clutch/flywheel might be in there. also check what your local tuner uses so you arent kicking yourself later down the road for buying the wrong software. (SCT or Diablo)

I'll try this when I get home. I'm currently out of town. This weekend will probably be when I can jack the car up and give it a good look.

Clutch does feel very stiff. My dad mentioned it might be aftermarket. Thanks for mentioning it.

What would be a good place to start searching for a dyno shop?

Amazon Tuning Solutions near Anderson SC and Pro Dyno near Fort Mill, SC. Pro Dyno being the better of the two.

Wow, more info than I expected.

I'm checking both of them out right now.

yeah we're really limited for dynos in SC but being further north you have more options in North Carolina and Georgia.

You need to get in contact with Roy Cole. He lives here in MI by me, owns Roy's Custom Intake Spacers.

Get yourself an intake spacer, and intake. Also aluminum driveshafts, some 4.10 gears and Stewart high performance water pump are a good start.
