Should be doing final tuning next week. So, should have number then. They are working with Lund Racing to do the tune. Since it is the first XS they have gone back and forth several times fine tuning and using different fuel options.

I love the concept of that engine. I'm hoping you get 600hp!

They are saying it is a monster. Revs to almost 8000 rpm!

Backdraft RT3B #1226 - Ford Racing 5.0 Coyote XS - Dyno Run - YouTube
A new video of #1226 getting its dyno action on.
You can also go to Vintages youtube page and find it.
466 rwhp should snap a neck back pretty good!

Just posting an update. The car is being finished up this week. Hopefully be on its way to me next week. We have had weather problems as of late that have put things off. Jay and the guys are working getting the top finished and fitted and then just a few odds and end and detail should do it. It has been a long road but a great ride. Only regret is that my Dad will never get to see the car. He passed away last week losing his battle with colon cancer. He did get to see the cars pics/vids on the Vintage site which he loved. Jay is putting the #65 on the car in remembrance of him as that was his age when he passed away. It will be an emotional time when the car is delivered I'm sure. Anyway he will be with me in spirit when my son and I take our first drive!!

Well, if mother nature will give us a little break I may actually get the car next week. Suppose to be getting detailed tomorrow. Then she will be ready to go.
To say we are excited would be a huge understatement. Jay is going to do a lot of pics and videos once it is detailed so looking forward to seeing those! So, if everything goes well should be an awesome week. 
Getting closer!!

Great times following your thread/build
Todd, do you know how easy it is to remove the window doors from the top frame? For BDR, would be great to incorporate a quick release, store them in the trunk and drive around with T-tops when desired...

Looks like 2 hinges on each door. I'm sure Jay could better answer your question as I have not seen the top in the flesh myself.

Holy sheet, I call that a hyperbuild! BDR is definetly forging new territory with vintage. They may just keep this hobby alive with their innovation. Incredible body work, true craftsman!

If you a can dream it up the guys at Vintage can make it reality. The car turned out even better than I saw it in my mind. They are true car guys. Could not be happier. Ok, maybe once it is here and off the truck!!!
