The Coyote Ford engine has arguably been the best Ford overhead cam V8 yet, and with good reason. They took all the good from each previous iteration and made what Ford believes to be the best it can be. And it is awesome. It makes killer power, will rev to the moon, and has a healthy aftermarket support. But why would we need aftermarket support if Ford already built the ultimate overhead cam V8? Because everything is better with a cam, intake, and boost! We all know it, and so do you.
But what happens when you start throwing parts at one of these suckers? Like any engine, they respond well to more air in and better exhausting of that air out. So headers and intake systems are great, and of course nitrous oxide makes everything better. But how do they respond to a set of cams? Or boost? Or both? Well thankfully Richard Holdener has done these tests, in fact he started testing these things before you could even get a Coyote in a car or truck. When Ford sent him one to do testing on he got support from some of the best in the business who wanted to see their parts put through their paces.
There are really good results in this video, with info you might want to use on your own Coyote build.







This guy is great. Provides facts and specs. If I was building an engine and wanted the best combo he would be the go to guy.
