Tuning for 2016 5.0 in 2011 Mustang (Copperhead ECU)

[steveespo]

Any of the tuners out there have experience tuning a Gen 2 Coyote using the Gen 1 ECU? I have an opportunity to put a '16 motor in my '11 racecar and know that the cam phasers changed. Don't want to have to change the cams and drives if I don't have to. Going to use CJ manifold currently on the old motor.
Thanks
Steve

Yes the cams and phasers are completely different the 16 has mid lock cam phasers. In order to make it run correctly I'm thinking you either need a 16 ecu or change out the cams and phasers.
