What Should I go with?

Well I am making some extra money over here, and the Mach is the best thing to spend it on so......

I am looking for:
4 Bolt Caster Camber Plates
Adjustable Upper Control Arms
Adjustable Lower Control Arms
Lowering Springs for street and strip
Full Length Sub Frame Connectors

Who Makes the best for a 500 Hp, 550 lbs, set up on a Mach 1

I have TokicoI llumina 5 Way Adjustable Struts/Shocks sitting at home now, so I should be ok there.

Thanks for any advise.

Turbo would be the way to go if you want that much power.Vortech wouldn't be a bad choice either.I'd first go with a built short block or the 03 Cobra short block and you will be bullet proof. :jeff:

He may have but that bottom end WILL NOT live long unless he changes the rods and pistons.

This is really me this time.

Get a 5.0 Cammer and boost it for the street and spray it on the track.

Yep, but I will be going up in my shot, and adding more bolt-ons. SO I am not looking for how to make more power, just the best set up for getting 500 Hp (Most Power the Mach Will Have) to the ground.

Thanks for your help.

Becareful upping the shot John or you will be looking for a bottom end soon.
The MACH internals are not that strong under boosted or Nitorus application.
Just my .02
