It all depends on your budget, goals, etc. One might have a little more top end, one better for down low, etc. The contenders are the GT350, Boss, and Cobra Jet intake manifold. And any aftermarket ones if they ever come out.
Interesting... I should try to learn more about what the GT350 engine has in common with the coyote. I did not expect intake manifolds to be swappable.

you've got shawn @ AED local to you, might be worthwhile getting your car on his dyno and having him make you a flexfuel tune.
I could use a good shop or mechanic who knows their stuff to put some finishing touches on the car; G-strut brace, IRS braces, and a bunch of bushings.
Would this be a lead? Thanks in advance.

Also, it just occurred to me. I probably should not get an alignment until the braces and bushings are done... if I was a perfectionist... Any real need to wait? tia again-

I would just go for the Lund Nguage Flex Fuel tune. That way you can run 91 if you cannot source E85 near your location. No injectors needed I believe. Seriously considering it myself. I hear it wakes up the car (like any tune) a bit, and should give an additional 10-20 horsepower.

Sure does put the power down! So far my car put down 427 hp and 465 Tq with the mods listed in my sig. E85 is a hell of a fuel alternative!:headbang:

Why wouldnt I be able to do the same with BAMA?
There is E85 like 5 blocks away(!!)

I was figuring I drove the car to empty, filled with e85, load my e85 Bama tune, and good until I refill with 91 and revert my tune to Bama tune to "91 performance"..?

If your new to this and you want to track and become a better driver don't worry about power at all!!!! 400 HP is plenty to learn and be your very own trackday hero. Take care of things that will actually make you faster, tires, wheels, seat, belts first and then get the cradle locked down with a BMR cradle lockout and diff lockout, then boomba tranny mount and shifter. Swaybar, better spring/coilovers you will have way more fun!!!
