I wonder if just swapping in some 4.09 gears would give you the feel you want?Thanks for all the input sir. Many things here I agree with, the NewEdge will undoubtedly feel faster due to the nature of the car. As for the limits of the car, I just want more pull. I don’t take the car hard into the curves, I’m happy with the way it handles for how I drive it, however I’m sure it can be improved. Call me old school I guess.
Something I noticed with these cars is that the Coyote just doesn't have that same low-end grunt that the mod motors had. I think that's a big part of why you don't feel the "pull", and also why outside of the Mustang fandom, a lot of ppl think this car just doesn't "feel" fast. It is fast, but the power comes on a lot smoother, and you have to just carry those revs up to redline. Definitely a different nature from an old school V8, and even different from how an LS feels.
I have no doubt that a S/C or turbo will improve that low end punch. What I question is the ability to do it for $5k. Even if you look at it as the first wave of costs, by skipping over the ancilary mods that FI really needs, you are setting yourself up for redoing work as you add mods you should just do from the start, and breaking stuff that wasn't designed for the power. I honestly don't think you can do a well-designed FI for less than $8k, maybe even $10k with optional upgrades like cooling, brakes, driveshafts, chassis bracing and bushings, etc.
Someone said put that money towards a GT350... honestly not bad advice. Consider this: in a few years if you decide to get another car, a used GT350 is still a GT350, it will always hold good value. A heavily modded GT is going to be worth less than a stock one.
