[QUOTE="railroad, post: 16949798, member: 13485"] I am excited for you. The Coyote engine is smooth, dependable and very street friendly. Down side it is very low on tq. I am running 3.55 gears and might someday change to 3.73. I recommend 3.73s for more performance. 347s, 410s and 427s are tq horses. They will beat the Coyote out of the hole everytime, if they can control tire spin. The Coyote really shines on the cruises and highways. Be sure to match up your overdrive ratio with the rear gears and shoot for about 2K rpm on the highway. The TKX is a drop in and can do everything you need. The six speed models run about a 5 inch driveshaft and dictates an IRS. Factory 5 is the best for the money, if you want to build it yourself. Its engineering design is strong and works. 500 hp is about max you will need. Anything from 350 to 400 will impress anyone. There are faster and better race cars, but fun, fast and handling are all in the F5 car. Do not worry about color, for now. It is difficult, but will happen as you approach paint time. Some people load the cars down with traction control, a/c, heat, stereo, etc. I have heated seats, and a 12 volt outlet. You cannot hear any music and a/c is like on a motorcycle. A lot of the sensations are motorcycle like, short of putting a leg down when stopped. I could go on forever, but know this, the short wheel base and lotsa power will bite your a$$ or kill you. The car has to be driven ALL the time, unlike mama's ride. Be sure to get on the Factory 5 sites. You will have questions about assembly and the guys on their are glad to give you answers. [/QUOTE]
