Unlike Patrick I let my wife go on the BDR website and see the price for herself. Too bad she did not realize it did not include engine and transmission. Oh well....I guess I will burn in hell for it later!

I am not sure how the Coyote will perform without the SC, but the 1124 car with the 5 speed TKO..5th gear is hardly used. in 5th its 80MPH at just over 2300 RPM. Its a good cruising gear but the engine wants more RPMs. I cannot imagine the need for a 6 speed. I was on the phone with Jay today ordering powder coated door latches and was discussing how this engine and LSD like 3rd and 4th gears.

In 1st and 2nd the 1124 car cannot use all the power and actually stay hooked up..3rd gear nailing it with the boost is crazy.. I had one friend ask me to slow down or let him out. 4th gear again with the boost is crazy. The car hits 110MPH so quickly its hard to push the shifter into 5th.. after that its time to shut the car down as I did not have VMS install wings on the car and it gets very light in the front end around 125MPH.

I will say this.. Break your budget and upgrade your gauges. Jay came up with a crazy design using speedhut revolution gauges. It was well worth the extra few bucks and make all the difference while driving the car.. especially at night.. VMS designed 2 of the guages to be blue with red sweeps and it really makes the car look intense at night. I will try to get some pictures up of that.. Also really liking the heated seats..

One piece of advice I would give all of you waiting for your car.. Once you get it.. and you are driving around.. do not stop unless you have time to talk about the car.. It is amazing how many people come up to you and ask 100 questions..

Julian.. Good move on the prep work for the supercharger. We did simular prep on my car for the second tune.. well that was until Roush came back with a custom tune for the car.. There will be no second tune!
