The Boss intake gives up some torque, and I'd like to keep it.

I switched to a 3.91, it is a must, the car falls flat in 3rd gear if you dont, fuel milage was not a affected, tell your customer it will be his best upgrade, it keeps that engine in the sweet spot at all rpm's.

great pics... awesome photography... really highlights the engine... which looks terrific in the engine bay. That's definitely the kind of Backdraft I WISH I had, tho I'd spring for the bumpers front & rear. Don't get me wrong, I love mine, but I'll bet the Coyote is a smoother/more drivable car than mine... and much more fuel efficient. Would love to have fuel injection, but can't justify the cost for how little I drive it anymore. On a good day, I'll get 12 mpg steady-state cruising on the freeway. Not a huge issue, but something I DO think about. Grass is always greener, I guess...

Do an engine swap, that coyote is the cheapest engine out there at 6 grand, your block on your engine cost almost that, sell yours and downgrade.

I hate those extra costs, lol, when you get that thing to 7200rpm your gonna be amazed how simple it gets there, the backdraft and spf were made for these engines, its like a ferrari with 1500pds less. In a few years that engine will be recieving direct injection and its a game changer, the computers love it, well over 500hp natural.
