Coyote Engine Swap

There is no mention of the RS-R car built with the Coyote Engine. They used an Aluminator X motor which is very expensive, but a standard Coyote or a Boss 302 motor would be plenty of power at 400...

Sorry I'm late to the party...

I concede. I'm done talking about Octane Booster. I have never put any in my FRS or Stage 3 Roush. 93 V-Power is just fine where I live. I knew there would be a stink created, but my JDM Nissan...

Just called Lucas Oil

I'm right. Just talked to the technician at Lucas and he states that the Fuel Stabilizer and Upper Lubricant is still in their Octane Booster. All you have to do is touch the stuff and feel the lube...

Why would I want more....

I ask you...... If I noticed better acceleration and better MPG.... Isn't that cool?

Intake and exhaust is a waste to upgrade. The octane boost works. Try it or quiet.

Yes newer outboards......

You're right. Newer motors are made to handle corn. I still think corn is the bad fuel.

New styling take

I don't like the new front clip. I have seen better alternatives with the aftermarket in Japan.

Headlights. Good looking with the smoked effect.

Tails. Also good looking.

Glad to have the original

I think the new gearing will allow 2nd gear to hit 60 mph for bragging rights of a faster 0 to 60 time. When the car was released, some wouldn't buy it for those numbers. I could be wrong but a...

I have trouble with my legs and feet the last couple of years. Had 2 operations and my feet are numb most of the time. I used to get out that way before I got sick.

Please tell me why you would use 91 octane if there is 93 octane available? Sure it's fine to use it but the engine was designed and tuned for 93. Shell V-Power is my favorite. I know I'm going to...
