I agree that you can't beat the exhaust note of an Italian engine, but nothing beats the induction noise of an ITB setup on a coyote.
Totally understand the LS option, plenty of power, small and light weight but doesn't have that magic noise when you stand on the throttle. Imagine two BDA's 12"...
Spend the extra and fit a Coyote. Correct brand for a GT40 and a lot more fun to drive with an ITB setup. The induction noise will make you smile every time you drive it.
The Coyote is so much better than a Windsor as a day to day engine. At the same power level a coyote will require less maintenance and have much better maners.
A decent inlet and exhaust system on a 2015 coyote will make 550hp.
Having just gone through the process in Qld, yes there are a few really pointless rules that you must comply with but overall it is not too bad.
However my biggest issue with our stupid country is that once you pass in one state they are not necessarily recognized Australia wide. NSW being the...
Jason is the first of my customers running my manifold to depart from the Motec route. The cobra being built by stangTV for Sema will run the AEM system. Beware of systems that don't control all the functionality of the engine. I wouldn't consider a system that doesn't control the exhaust cams...
I have tuned numerous Coyotes using the Motec M150 Ecu. All engine features are supported. Depending which version you order, traction control is available.
Have a look at "Jason's Coyote Powered RCR40 Downunder".his combination makes over 500hp on a stock Aluminator, 550 with cams. Current dyno version of this engine is making 630hp 455ft/lb.
There are only two things that can screw up your timing. Reversing the wires on an inductive crank trigger or the trigger in you dizzy is in a different spot and the relationship between crank and dizzy sensor has changed enough to jump a tooth on the crank.
You can move the crip number to fix...
