Trying to decided what my next mod should be and I'm kinda hung up between an mgw shifter or an air raid cai and tune(probably truestreet). Trying to spread my mods out a bit time wise so I was wondering what you guys would do

Well the price difference between those two is certainly large but probally Intake/tune. Shifter is def a gd idea.

Yea the price is one of the main reasons its one or the other right now... Does anyone know how much you pick up from a typical true street tune

you should pick up around 20-30 hp from a good tune. cold air intake is not needed on coyotes unless you go forced induction. I would focus your money on an off road mid pipe and a tune. that should put you well over 400 rwhp.

This! Tune/ offroad mid is the best bang for the buck.

If I could go back back I would buy the Hpipe/tune instaed of the intake.

See that's why I ask these things cuz I'm a super newb to the coyote motors.... So a lethal orh and a tune... Hmmmm maybe I should pick up some mufflers cuz I think the muffler delete will be a bit loud

I am a firm believer in building the foundation before the house.

I would work on the driveline before adding more power. Get the most out of what you have and when you start adding power, you will be that much further ahead.

I concur with WBT's statement. That MGW shifter is one of the best investments I've made.

GT500 mufflers ftw. Also the shifter is nice but i did well with the Oem shifter so i guess its on personal opinion.

I have roush suspension under the car and it handles great so the only other thing I need foundation wise is wider tires I think...as for gt500 mufflers those as exactly what I was thinking

I haven't heard the gt500s with an orh except YouTube vids but everyone says it doesn't do justice to the setup so I need to find somebody to let me listen to there setup

When you start pushing the car hard and experience problems shifting into 3rd, you will want an aftermarket shifter with the support bracket.

Yea the stock shifter leaves quite a bit to be desired but it is one of the best stock shifters I have seen on a car in this price range

Trust me I push mine plenty. Never had a problem.

Shifter 1st IMHO. An alternate would be to install the shifter bracket with the OEM shifter.

So now I'm thinking shifter then wheels and fat tires then orh and a tune... How does that sound?

Only use than to upload custom tunes. The preloaded tunes aren't worth anything.

But even then, the datalog capabilities for that handheld are not nearing as wide variety wise as SCT, so I would recommend getting a custom tune locally by a Diablosport capable tuner, or contact JPC Racing who are the best tuners on the Diablosport right now.

The problem with Diablosport is there isn't much support out there for it. Most tuners use SCT which would severely limit your options for a tuner locally.

I think Sean said he can tune for the Diablosport when I had that one last year, but he said for Ford he would rather prefer SCT.

I would do the tune first, IMO best bang for your buck. Sounds like you will have future mods down the road so you may want to consider someone like American Muscle with tunes for life until your done modding and then get a more dialed in tune. If you buy the SCT from AM you basically get the tune or tunes for life for free.

That's what I did. Did mid pipe and tune first. It's crazy how much better the car feels. Shifter will be next for me.

I really appreciate you guy giving me input it has pretty much helped me decide to start with a tune with an offroad h and gt500 axle back. What do you think?

That's a great start. You might have to come back with some suspension tweaks to keep that extra power on the ground, particularly if you got 3:73's

Well I just picked up some longtubes a custom xpipe and some ford racing sport mufflers from dark pony so I think tune will defiantly be the next thing on my list but first I wanna get a baseline run to see where I'm at.
