I’m sure to many people this is an easy install. Just not us
I'm curious how a spacer would add those kind of horsepower and torque numbers. Seems way optimistic to me. Can anyone elaborate?
It raises the rpm band and the spacer allows more air flow which is where the increases come from. I added a plenum spacer to my 03 Mach 1.
Not sure except it’s supposed to reduce air temperature and help minimize heat soak.
We have an 03 Mach 1. Do you still have yours? Our is Azure Blue. I bought it for my wife new for her 30th birthday.
It will actually lower the rpm where the peaks occur, albeit slightly, due to the increased runner length. Tuning and runner length have an inverse relationship. Airflow will still be constrained by the head and intake runner geometry so I would not expect any increase due to this component alone unless the airflow makes a severe turn at the head, which is not the case with the 7.3L manifold.
No, Its been a long time. I sold it to purchase my first house. I ordered it in July 2002 and came in Jan 2003 DSG. Loved the Mach 1. However I have to say the 16 Fiesta ST I used to have was actually even more fun to drive.
Hijacking bigtime now, apologize! I had a SVT focus and the Fiesta ST feels very similar. I agree it is one of the most fun vehicles I have driven. Ok, its not the fastest thing, but it sure puts a smile on my face and I guess that is really all that matters at the end of the day.
