did this years ago. it's great, I just put the trans cooler front and center in the gauge cluster as a rule. I've never got close to the rumored 275 limp mode temp in street driving.
I don't know why ford hasn't made a coyote with an 8250 redline and 500+ HP. seems it's leaving money on the table to not do that if they felt they could have.
Either the Voodoo has advantages that allow for those specs, or they don't want to upstage the GT350. Maybe the coyote in the...
Agree for the most part. But you may be downplaying some of the other benefits. No coyote is going to 8250, and no coyote has the power numbers of the voodoo. Whether that is intentional by Ford so Voodoo remains king of the hill in their NA portfolio, I don't know.
Your point about how it...
Are we giving too much weight to Honey Badger's N of 1? He, we all can agree, is an outlier regarding intensity, mods, pushing the car. His experience is great, and I love his posts, but I'm not sure we can make broad statements about the voodoo in general from his ownership.
Are more casual...
I like the deeper growl with the resonators on the regular GT350. Plus, I don't need a few more decibels to alert the police even more, I'm happy with the volume already.
The "tube" resonators on the GT350 don't affect power output (some even say resonators can help power, but I doubt it...
This is interesting. Supports the idea that is talked about often regarding Ferrari V8 engines, that once you start getting over 4 liters the vibrations are a bigger problem, and your dampening needs increase, which can outweigh some of the flat plane benefits.
sounds here like sound played a big role in the unequal length header decision:
(I know it's a GT500 article, but they talk specifically about the GT350 sound)

Voodoo still sounds better. more unique low RPM staccato hammers to go with high RPM scream.
That being said, the new Z06 is mighty impressive. Also mighty expensive. And if the Voodoo is hard to really push on normal roads without going to jail, the Z06 would be even worse. Talk about...
Per Car and Driver's recent article on the new S650:
" The new-look interior is a big break from tradition, but Ford said it's intended to appeal to a younger demographic of people who grew up playing video games."
I grew up playing video games. I love my GT350 analog dials.
