Well I'm sorry to say my tenure as a Mach owner is officially over...

Yes my tenure here was enjoyable to say the least. The motor is hurt again and I have had enough. I purchased a 2014 gotta have it green 5.0 that is going in shortly for a Fluid twin turbo system. I have let the mach go to a friend at the shop that will be rebuilding her. I want to tell everyone here that I throughly enjoyed your friendship through the years and that I will still be around but notmas much. I also want to thank all the people on here that shared their time and knowledge to help me through build again thanks an happiness to all!

Yep bro drove it about 2000 miles and snapped a cam bolt timingchain wrapped around the crank. Did all kinds of damage bent valves, 1 cam destroyed 4500 dollars worth of damage. Builder gave me a small discount but I have just had it. Thanks for your help through the years bro.

I don't mean to be that guy, and the newer cars are obviously much better in many ways, but...

1) Buy car
2) Make car much more powerfull
3) Gets upset when car breaks
4) Sells car and gets new car
5) Make new car much more powerfull
6) ???
7) Get upset when car breaks?

Re: Well I'm sorry to say my tenure as a Mach owner is officially over...

I've always wanted to add more power to my Machs but then I hear nightmares like this. I was thinking about adding a JLT cold air intake and maybe a MRT catted H-Pipe. Would that give me a noticeable HP gain?? And would it still be safe.

Sorry to hear that man. Sounds like some really bad luck with that motor.

Best of luck with the me 5.0. I'm guessing stock block with twins and 6#s of boost makes more power than your fully built setup. Around 640.

**** dude. I know what it feels like to have a snake bitten car. That's why my 94 got sold and I've never missed it for a second. Stick around though you're always welcome here.

Thanks man I really enjoyed it through the years and with all my freaking engine problems I am a wealth of knowledge. lol The more I drive the new car the more I am liking it. The Fluid twin turbo cars are cleaning up at the track. When mine gets installed I am sure I won't look back for a second.

Well sad to hear, but glad you will come from time to time, love the new stang and that color. I understand though with getting frustrated with stuff breaking, but no where near what you have gone through, it was great to get to know you throughout the years on here, I wish you nothing but the best and God Bless.

Those stock wheels gave it a v6 feel, but the new ones really changes that. Great choice.
