DI is only here because of fuel economy regs. Trust me, they didn't want to add it until they HAD to.

A lightweight flywheel is probably the single easiest thing you can do to make the engine rev faster. I have installed many, over many different platforms and every time it was a better driving feeling IMO. Sure, as Norm stated you lose some of the "easiness" of a launch/low speed takeoff, but to me the tradeoff is well worth it.

You can manipulate the throttle feel via the tune, but honestly it is so subjective and everyone has different tastes that it is not a one size fit all. This is a large reason I started tuning myself, just so I could dial in the DBW tables to my liking.

My question is that with the raised redline, how easy will it be to raise it above 8000 in the aftermarket? Right now people add 1000 rpms with just a few bolt ons and a tune, will the Gen 3 coyote have that sort of room left in it safely to add another 600 to 1000 rpms with just a few bolt ons?

An 8200 rpm coyote would be awesome, sorry just nice to think about, I understand it be about a year until anyone knows this.

Best just leaving it at 8000rpm, there is no intake manifolds on the market that really make power beyond 8000rpm anyway and more revs is more wear, simple physics.

Mine is set at 7900rpm, but in typically daily driving I rev it too 6500-7000rpm and only higher if really on it. :D

The gt350im makes power beyond 8k in the gt350. The 2018 is getting larger valves so I'm assuming it's going to have heads that will flow better and using the gt350 im could continue making power that high as well.

The question is, when ford says the only thing remaining is the crank, does that mean the new coyote has billet opg's? If not, I wouldn't go beyond 7500 myself.
