There is a solution to this: 2 tune profiles & one switch...
Like most things - easier said than done, but quite possible with the coyote.

Hoity, these numbers may be misleading - there are hidden expenses with EFI, including (& not limited to); tuning, upgrade fuel delivery (pumps, lines, regulators), computer harness... That said, I'm not trying to talk you out of the choice of the coyote. I think its a good one... You can virtually have two types of engines in one, the cruiser and the beast.
