Bolt on NA Power?

[Jewishthunder]

On the 11-14's it seemed like the tried and true method of NA power, was an Intake mani (cobra jet or Boss) with their accompanying throttle body and intake. Plus a set of headers and exhaust. This was putting people at the mid 400's with a nice tune.

Now, with the s550 not being able to fit those IM's without different motor mounts (a pain in the ass) what are peoples plans for bolt on, NA power?

Is this going to be the talk track I use to justify going FI even earlier?

Still seeing power gains with the normal headers, CAI, and tune in the neighborhood of 430-450rwhp. However, a case can always be made for FI as well. Depends on what you want or justify.

BBK throttle body, cold air intake with the largest MAF housing, headers and exhaust with a tune will give you the most power out of this engine until there are different intake manifolds around

That's what I was figuring. Looks like from the dyno's I've seen, the big gains are coming from Headers, Intakes/Tunes. Until there are more options!

I'd go blower before I go headers. $1500 for headers is a good chunk towards a blower, and the install is a pita.

There are rumors floating around that the gt350 manifold may fit the coyote. Idk how viable that is. I'm quite sure the aftermarket will open up some more and provide better parts, I am waiting for a manifold myself. Patience is key.

When I get my GT I'm going to free up the quiet exhaust a bit (no power really) and go the FI route.

I would love to have a 500rwhp N/A monster; but it would cost way more than the FI in money and driveability.

I'm probably going to start with intake, tune, and possibly e85...already have catback. Then wait on a blower down the road.
