Cracks me up how Ford rates that crate engine at 412 hp, I've seen two different dyno tests on two different crate Coyotes and they each made over 460 hp.
One sweet car, was at the Gathering, talked to the gentleman who built it for awhile, was an awesome man to talk about the build.
I never found the person who built that car; was he also the owner? I believe the car was in the parking lot when I arrived Thursday evening. Those considering going that route may want to get a heads-up on just what pitfalls they may encounter w/ their builds.
This was Dan Dubs creation and he's already provided his number to assist where necessary. Unknowingly, I've already followed his lead by installing the RC-107. The aforementioned magazine presents his impressive resume. I'm certain the pitfalls will be discovered when we're looking up after having already fallen in...
I wasn't aware the crate motors make more power than the ones in the mustangs. The one in mine is rated at 412HP. I had it tested on a chassis dyno and and if I remember correctly it was around 370RWHP. The rev limiter in the mustang is 6,800RPM. I can't say enough about the coyote motors though. I only have drag radials, springs and a few suspension mods to eliminate wheel hop and I'm knocking on the door to an 11 second quarter mile. My engine is bone stock right down to the air filter. Best times so far are 12.0's @ 114.7 with 1.67 sixty foot times hanging the front wheels in the air.
It has been thoroughly documented that bone-stock Coyotes accommodating power adders are cranking out 600rwhp. Hellion claims their twin turbos attained 740rwhp@10 lbs of boost. THAT is what's most impressive. Where are you from in Jersey, man? I was spawned in Essex County.
Roush/Yates made over 600hp NA with some head work and cams before the Boss intake came out and according to Procharger mine will make 650+ with a P1SC at 7PSI. The motors are a great platform.
They are a big engine, but I think the engine cover makes it appear even larger. It is running a C4, so I suspect the crank centerline is in the stock location. It was a nice clean build.
I'm in Robbinsville right smack in the center of the state. I don't plan on supercharging mine unless I can get a screaming deal. Those things are expensive and I have other cars to spend money on like my maverick and my falcon. Plus I won't do it until my warranty runs out anyway. It's just way to fun stock! Really great motors though.
Having lived in Deutschland for three years working with German mechanics, they have COMPLETELY sold me on turbocharging. The Mach I is ProCharged D1SC/3.20 pulley and while the unit works well, the installation concept has baffled me. The unit needs to be removed to replace the belt, (frayed, shredded or gone), and pulley, should one intend to step up/down. 601rwhp/538trq@18.48 lbs of boost. Never raced, only open throttled. It was built for, and great on, the autobahn, but selling the car in the interest of retaining my drivers license. It spends 95% of its time in my garage because I have this continuous, nagging urge to drive it as I did in Germany. And, it is only a matter of time...
I don't think the crate motors make more than the stock Mustang pieces. I think that, for whatever reason, Ford underrates them a good bit. Probably so that the Mustangs seem more like the underdog when they kick the snot out of the Camaros and Challengers.
