By the way your Ford GT and Cobra are awesome. I have the t50 cammer they used the r50 cammer, differnt intakes, etc. Your right about the race weight I was comparing to street car trim.

Thank You,

I really like the Coyote, I hear that Wiseco built one that was 5.8 liters and they expect over 700 hp with compression and good cams. The heads are really good and have a ton of potential. They are the really free reving and can run there all day as your avatar says.
The street weight of the GT is a problem, although they have good straight line performance with boost, all that weight is tough to corner with even with lots of downforce. I wish it weighed around 3000 then you could really get it done. I have heard that the engine trans and blower weigh 900 lbs, way too much for a modern power train. I think a normally aspirated big inch Coyote would really be good in a GT and take about 200-300 pounds out. The chassis and geometry are great just too much weight in the powertrain.
