Hi all
Since I don’t live in the States or Canada and this is my first ever US car I need some advices from the board members, I would like to buy a lot of stuff for my Mach1 over years to come but I have no clue what brand or so to stick with, I always though it is the best in the long run to go with one company (performance parts etc) as much as I can, so my question is :

Steeda
Saleen
Paul´s HP

Or any other company that you all advice me 2, but they need to be on the net so I can see what they got and big enough so they don’t disappear after a year or so.


Regards 2 all :)

Tom

I am thinking of almost anything that I can do without building a race car for only track use, this year when the car is new I start slow with shifter, springs, strut tower brace, some air kits, exhaust, weels tires, some cosmetics in and outside stuff etc etc, and next year :) get some speed on the weels

Here is my recommendation of where to get some fo your parts

Shifter= Steeda

Springs= Steeda ( they are made by Hypercoil)

Strut Tower Brace = Steeda

Air kit = I would just put a K&N... would waste my money on a CAI

Exhaust = Bassani off road X pipe with Bassani mufflers 3 inch

Cosmetics I would go steeda as well.

Yes I am a Steeda fan... I tried a few of their things and their support is awesome.

There is only one that can fit our tranny, and that's the Tri-Ax T3650. I have tried the Pro 5.0 and the Tri-Ax. Tri-Ax has a more solid feel to it and yes you do hear a little more tranny noise but you will never miss the 2-3 shift... ever.... unless you forget to push in your clutch... ;)

I will try and get my contact at Steeda's e-mail. He can help you out. His name is Frank. I forget his last name though.

Not true! I have the Tri-Ax and have missed 2-3 shift at the track. The locktite came loose on the shifter and my hand spun off the shifter ball causing me to miss my shift.:SMASH:

Posted 14.7@ ~95 MPH on that run!

look at jeffs and my 1/4 mile times and that will tell you, they would even be faster if we were not resticted by the factory stock rules in the nmra.pauls has been great to us.:COOL:



also my car is a daily driver, and it rides just fine and it has the power to eat those chevys up too.lol
