I remember....the first 2011 Coyotes and tunes.

#8 cylinders going up in flames left and right. Short-block sales through the roof.

Do the 2015-2017 Coyotes have cylinder-head coolant flow from bank-to-bank at the back of the engine?

Then I am glad I purchased a 2017 with more aftermarket parts and tuning options - Plus the added HP & TQ that goes with that.

The car isn't even out yet. Of course there isn't aftermarket options for it yet. The Mustang is the most modded car there is. Just give it a little time so the different aftermarket companies can get their hands on the 2018 to tweak it

No one said that.

We're talking about the fact that the ECUs are supposed to be locked/encrypted, so tuning can't be done.

Pay attention son.

Where has this been officially stated? I can't find anything about it. It's a new engine, so of course it's going to take some time to figure things out but I don't see anywhere about the ECU being locked.

It hasn't been. People are just trying to grab at more shit to discredit the 2018 with.

First it was "it's probably not going to be faster lulz"

<4 sec 0-60


"Okay well it'll probably be locked in at 93 octane"

"Can't tune it tho!"

Cycle will continue until all facts are out.

Is optional these days in school. :lol:

Besides new engine & auto transmission - if any mods can be done the aftermarket will take time to catch up. ;)

Cylinder deactivation

I make joke..

Exhaust Sounds awesome! :love:I was hoping for 470+ but that doesn't matter with th car being under 4 seconds to 60. Drag mode sounds perfected for hooking up which my '13 3.73 car only rarely does even with 275 MPSS. Not sure if I can pull the trigger on any of the colors offerred though knowing the '19 might have a couple new ones. 12.2 sec quarter??????:cheers:

Lol yep exactly. A lot of people who bought the 2017 are just gonna be jelly to see the 2018 being better. I think it's good. Newer cars should be better

Fake news, I've already heard from some of the best tuners for Ford's that this won't pose any problems

It would surprise me if Intakes, full exhausts wouldn't be able to bolt on. Most likely would be the same. its a refresh not a redesign. Now with the new DI and all, maybe intake mani's might be different but i doubt it. tuning will be out shortly after the car is released. so only thing I could see as being different is the intake manifold. but it shouldn't be, so most likely superchargers and all will bolt on just fine. Until then I'm surprised at all the its this and that since the car isn't in anyone's hands yet.
