Found on yellowbullet. My new Mustang with the Coyote engine has me researching modular Ford engines.

Nice! Eddie, how are you liking the new 5.0? I have been 8.41 in the 1/8 with mine and want to get it in the 8.20 range before I mod anything.

David, I really like my 5.0. I put a Ford 1 1/2 inch lowering kit and 3.73 gear in it. Yesterday, it got a Ford Racing drop-in K&N air filter and Ford Racing tune. I did that instead of a tune from anybody else as I can keep the warranty for a while and make my wife happy. I don't know how quick it is as we haven't had it to the strip and haven't even driven it much. I do know the tune adds seat-of-the-pants torque down low and throttle response is instantaneous at any speed. It also shifts a little firmer. On the way home after adding the tune, I ran it from 20 up to 125-130 and it seemed really quick and definitely had a lot left. It definitely needs some drag radials. And probably a younger driver.

Here are pictures Ford Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing put on facebook of the Gatornationals where I was presented as the winner of the Mustang Fever Sweepstakes. Hanging out all weekend with the Tasca family was a lot of fun and a great honor as they are Ford people from way back. And really nice also.
