It is a modular ...so our 3.8L is basically the same as the 5.7L, right? They are both pushrod engines! They designed the new 5.0L fresh, not as a derivative.

You can go buy a Camaro right now better/faster/cooler than that Ford MIGHT be next year.

did you just say faster/cooler about the camaro? oh my...

No, your missing the point. It isn't really refreshed...its the same "concept" as the Cobra motor that wasn't blown. Just more displacement, VVT, and a different IM.

...and a different block, and pistons, and everything else. The Coyote has as much in common with the 4.6/5.4 as our 3.8 has with the 5.7.

Whatever you say. Afterall...your a Ford engineer.

I can't wait to rape one of these with my Trans Am...funny thing is that I won' even have to use the spray

450 whp i bet he runs mid 11s, with spray he may touch 10s.

Car is down for the winter...installing stage 4 clutch, built tranny, carbon fiber driveshaft, 4" exhaust, and then the tune. Should be ready for Spring.

That sounds about right. My goal is mid-10s on slicks...if I can get there consistently, I'll be happy.

150 shot?? should get you mid 10's all day long with 450hp before spray. i see it all the time.

oh really? You're making me very happy...If I see 9s, I'll **** a brick, no joke.

Buddy of mine has a '02 SS with LT's, ORY, dump, ST3 cam, CAI, Ported TB, 9", 4.11's, short shifter, stage 3 clutch, and M/T's...without the 150 he is running he ran an 11 something @ 124 IIRC.

I'm betting low 10's on the 150 and a new tune though

Screw the baby bottle. You women

i know plenty of 400hp camaro's/trans ams that go 11's with some decent tires. then with a 150 shot most are mid 10's. if you can drive mid 10's should not be an issuie. for 9's............ well thats gonna take great suspension, great driving, great tires, blah blah blah. might need some forged pistons to take the amount of spray that its gonna need to go 9's also.

but mid 10's is deff doable if thats the power it puts down. i see it all the time.
