I need 8 more valves!!! I feel so inferior with only 24 valves.:crazy:

The wax lasts longer the more valves you have. I read that somewhere on the internet.:dunce:

What have I done to myself.

So OP wants to buy a coyote and boost it, and thinks that will be it? That a stock boosted engine will just last forever?

I'm sure the coyote will hold more power than the stock 3v but FFS it isn't a sherman tank. They have blown up. It's not gonna last forever.

Traded in my 2008 GT for my 2011 over a year ago and dont regret it a bit. IMO the 10-12's are better looking than the 05-09's. I think the 10-12's look much more aggressive. The 05-09's are too soft. The interior is much nicer and you really get use to the look of the car. Trade in the old one and get the new one.

Buddy calls me today at lunch, tells me, "Guess what I bought?" It's a disease, only cure is the 5.0. Or was it cow bell? :boobies:

I went through this same debate for several months but it was difficult to justify when mine is perfectly fine in everyway except for the power aspect plus like your's I have title in hand. Needless to say I have a blower waiting to go on and bought a nitrous kit the other day to play with in the mean time...hopefully the only "quirk" with my car will be solved.

If you must do it...PW FTW.


my daughter and I did this......... just under 500 hp and we haven't even taken it passed 6,000 RPM!!

^ I almost said that, I mean for the price difference in the new 5.0 and then throwing the price of a blower on top of that I'd just swap the 5.4 in the car

I'm sure it's been said.. but

Everything new gets old. You buy a new 5.0 you're gonna be in the same boat in a few years. If you keep what you got, you have the car that will be the one everyone wants because it was the original retro. Plus you're car is super clean..

I went through this awhile back.. 5.0 or keep.. I decided to keep my car. for reasons below.

it's paid for
sure the 5.0 has more power but I'm ordering a s/c in the next few weeks that will put me in the range of smoking a new 5.0.
I can still do this and cost me less money than buying a 5.0 and s/c it. plus be faster
My car still looks new (not as showroom as yours) but no flaws.
I won't argue with others, but this body style is hands down better, wait a few years and see what people are looking for.
The 5.0 has problems. I haven't been convinced the transmission, the #8, and other multiple issues I'ver read about are worked out.. how bad would that suck to buy a new car, s/c it, blow # 8 , warranty void and be shit out of luck

this is why I chose to keet my car. You know what you want more and you'll chose accordingly. just my .02 worth. good luck on your decision.
