Now, having said that, flow isn't everything, and even with the best flowing heads, 302 cubic inches can only do so much without forced induction.

I personally just can't get on the Coyote bandwagon. I believe it just happened to show up at a time where a lot of Cobra owners just wanted something different than the standard FE, or stroked Windsor. However, there is no real benefit to it, especially if a lot of horsepower is desired. My caveat to that goes to the Cobra owners in other countries/continents that have very strict emissions/engineering rules, or have limited access to aftermarket engines in general. In that case, I would certainly choose a Coyote or other Ford engine over a GM counterpart.
