I agree. For the return on the dollar and ease of making power boost is the way to go in my opinion.

These Coyote parts are ridiculously expensive it's mindboggling that it's a Mustang. Reminds me more of the Vette tax than a Mustang! lol. For me, the return on these heads just wouldn't justify the cost for MY goal for my car.

Plus, I LOVE boost!

It's certainly far more difficult. Driving ability, suspension set up and weight become far more of a concern. I'd rather take the easy road and just throw boost at it. And of course I couldn't remotely care less about chasing an ET anymore. I have to ignore it and just have fun with the car otherwise it will become a weekly obsession to chase those magical ET whoring out the car and wasting a LOT of time at the track over times that really mean nothing at the end of the day. I look back at that time, I learned a lot, but I can't say I enjoyed it a lot because I obsessed over it so much. It became work instead of just having fun.
