I think that will get you down the road pretty quick. The car is a beast in 2nd and 3rd gear. It has amazing response and eats NO gas. Sounds great with your foot in it and can have a conversation with my passengers in 4th and 5th gear. Have had a 4.6 Mustang GT for the past 6 years and modified that car a lot. When I lift my Cobra hood at shows most people are stunned. Yes some mock it, others just whistle. I haven't been able to get my photos up yet but if you have Facebook look at Backdraft's October 1 entry..(If one of you techy guys can re-print that here, please do)..Kirkhams are great cars....technology changes. I would love to see a mod engine in such a fine car. My 2 cents...Bill
I have a mod motor also, the coyote is a plastic engine thus the $6000 pricetag, soon to be in every junk yard known to man, just like previous 5.0. the engine, does look good under the hood, but 419 hp is laughable when it comes to FE power, with no tq to boot, the FE could pull your motorhome.
