Hey again...How are those D2's working for you? Is the ride pretty stiff?

they are fully adjustable and you can adjust the stiffness from super stiff to soft. i have it on stiff so i dont rub since i went lower...

I'll have the KB back on mine the first week in January, but I can't get over that torque on yours. My hp will be about the same (we had it over 700 last time), but the torque won't be anywhere near that. IIRC, mine made about 100 ft lbs less at that power level with the KB.

HPP does good work tuning the Coyotes, as does True Street. That's about the only two I'd trust in the area.

I have a Spec clutch, ss line, and 1 piece DS sitting in the garage. A new short block and return fuel system sometime next year, I hope. Then a 4.0 whipple to make some real power... :Pshyco:

I decided on the TVS because of the torque curve. KB has a lot more room to grow. Why did you pull the KB...did you build the block?

It's amazing what these things can do, compared to the 2V and 3V's, in bone stock form. I know there are plenty of people living with 700+ hp on the stocker, but I'm not particularly easy on mine. I was going to sell the car too, so I put it all back to stock and was about to start work on my coupe, then the new KB deal fell into my lap. A deal I couldn't refuse, so to speak. We're starting off smaller this time, likely in the 11-12 psi range. Should deliver the car on the 2nd or 3rd so they can get started.

I had a KB for my GT500...they are very well designed. Who's doing the work? Any fuel upgrades yet?

Yeah one of the keys to the coyote is the head design. It flows very well and when it's pressurized air, it flows extremely well. In fact, the coyote head at a given lift actually outflows a Yates D3 head, according to one of the designing engineers.

HPP will be doing this one. Mannys 2011 is making over 900 now with the 4.2 on it. The only fuel upgrades for now are 80 lb injectors and a BAP. I'm shooting for mid 600's this time around.

Wow...Is he on a stock block?

Well, you have more than enough fuel for mid 600's and to keep it safe.

His car is a bit insane, was running 9.90's with the 3.6 and 18's all the way around. Sounds stock too. Haven't seen it go with the 4.2, but it should be good for some 9.7x's.

I thinks it's the perfect fit for the 5.0. It wouldn't hurt if they made one a little bigger though. Say, a 7 liter? :Sumo:

You can't deny the efficiency of turbos, but I don't like the added heat under the hood. Is anyone making a kit with the turbos down low? Like the APS kits for LS cars.
