I was known as Blue when I owned that.

the 4 in my name, stands for 4 valve. so ya, technically it couldve applied for my Mach and my Cobra, since both were “4v” 4.6’s

no, its a roots, the S281E has a twin screw on it.

Difference between Roots and Twin screw.

Both look the same on the outside with a snout.

Roots=1 Internal Compressor…Typically only Eaton makes these (Jackson Racing Supercharger(Eaton M62), Eaton M90, M112)  
Twin-Screw=2 Internal Compressors (Kenne Bell, Whipple, Autorotor, Lysholm, Eaton M142)

eh, had problems.

to be honest with you, stock for stock, the Mach 1, felt every bit as fast as an LS1.

My best pass with it bone stock was 13.2 @ 105, which I’m sure could’ve been better if it had 275/40/17s on it, instead of 245/45/17s. Those Mach’s are also known for the freak 12.9 @ 107mph runs as well.

Most guys are hitting 12.5-12.6’s on the Mach 1’s with ET Streets, and no power mods… thank god the rear ends are built in those things… unlike the pencil thick 10 bolts

but as stated before, I’ve been around the block with cars, and in stock form

the (2003-2004) NA 4v 4.6 is right on par with the LS1

I know for a fact they can go 12.8’s on the Eagle F1 tires. I’ve done it, and darkstar witnessed it. But for 1.1L less in displacement, Ford is right there with the LS1

LS1’s are definitely awesome, but Ford has stepped up to the plate

eh, overhead cam is more efficient, which is one thing

compression ratios are actually a tad higher than the LS1

I believe the LS1 is 10.1:1 or in that ballpark

Mach 1, had 10.25:1

Cobra of course is 8.5:1 due to its supercharger

Although the Mach, Marauder, and Cobra, share the same heads 🙂 It’s a good design
