Meant to mention, putting on intake got a bit of a look at a few things super clean,
we pulled tranny off, clutch looks brand new, without Al's hp I will start will stock clutch
tempting Macleods have there pro street set up on for a $1000.00 but I will wait for now.
To say over budget at this point is a bit of understatment lol.
Searching for some high performance summer tires if anyone has any connections.
Not sure I want to go with cup 2's on this, hoping for a bit more wear lol.
Maybe Toyo R888R's or Nitto NT05 etc.
MOMO steering wheel and new gauge cluster showed up today
I love boxes wwith car parts, better than Christmas.

For more wear, what about Michelin Super Sport or AS4’s?
I don’t have any better connection than you with MacPhee though.

Starting to look pretty nice
I have been told 7500 is normal and 8000 is no problme, but have not done any researchHeaders and Boss intake. Sweet!
It’s going to be a screamer.
Something to work with for the tune.
Give it a few hundred rpm more at the top end.
Without going past safe zone, of course.
Don’t want to cause oil starvation issue.

7500 was the redline on the Boss Road Runner engine, and they made a big deal of it at the time because it was high for a production American V8.
They needed that redline to take advantage of the short runner Boss intake.
It made max power st 7400 rom.
Regular coyote redline was lower at 7000, I believe.
I actually thought it was 6500 but most of the stuff I’m reading tonight says 7000.
Either way, the gen. 1 and 2 engines made max. power at 6500 with a long runner intake.
The max redline your engine had from factory is 7000.
To maximize the Boss intake, you’ll want to bump it up a bit
Pete will know what is safe with stock oil pump.
Cams and valve train speed may also play a part in dictating safe redline.
