Millsy - I read the info on the Coyote and my first concern is the controller as I have no Ford computers onboard and suspect the Coyote controller would require SOME interface with the factory computers.....I will check into it though. The cooling issue...do I need it because of the drag racing or the road racing? I shouldn't need it for around town, right? I haven't heard any talk at the drag track regarding cooling. I'll have to ask around about that.
G Edmonds - So on an AOD(C4???) I would have a shifter that shows 1rst, 2nd, and Drive, or would it have 1rst, 2nd, 3rd, and Drive? And in drive it would automatically go into OD at a certain RPM? Do C4's come with a shifter or will that be another purchase?
CT Clint - what is a speed pwr glide? A different tranny? What type of cam is suited for it? My cam is radical....high lift and long duration.
Keezling - Two very good points that I didn't think of. So you're saying that auto trannies are not the ticket for road racing? Couldn't I hold it in 2nd gear through the turns, then once out of the turn, bump it up into Drive and floor it? The fluid issue must have a solution, right? I mean besides the deeper pan?
