I had a 5 litre dohc cammer in my spf which I just sold, the engine is fine, its just so docile, like a cobra, met emmisions, and they had a love affair, I wanted a rowdy nasty cobra hence im on my way to an FE, also I would suggest building a motor for what and where you drive, the coyote is not a street motor its a track star, so it falls flat on the street, you have to wake it up with gears cause it need to rev so high to make real power, but for $6500 its a good engine, and if you supercharge just get a windsor and save all the extra weight and plumbing, not good for a cobra, good for a mustang that ford needs to meet strick emmision standards. But I guess to each is own.
