I want 600 to the wheels and drive it daily.
On stock internals, you're just about maxing out the Coyote internals with that much power. Especially for a daily driver. Some people have more power and their engines have held up. just mentioning it for piece of mind, especially if it is a car that you NEED to use everyday back and forth to work and what not. Just a thought.

I have the best setup for a procharger that is out there and recommended the vmp gen2 to you. That should tell you something.

I'm not a disgruntled procharger owner and my car runs very well. Its just that the vmp produces the same power without the added cost of a wastegate, extra pulley, belt, and added heat from the excessive blower rpm that the wastegated procharger has.

The sound of straight cut gears and the big red bypass has me staying with my setup.

FWIW,.....if I ever build my car, it's VMP all the way.
So, another vote for VMP here.

Guess it's all what you want out of the car. I wanted basically a road race type of car with 550-600 to the tires that kept the same kind of powerband as the Boss Manifold. I knew I would never run the kind of tire that would allow me to hook a tvs so for me i wanted the upper rpm power without fighting for traction all the time. Low end torque is awesome but if you can't hook it, it's useless. Guess it depends on what kind of tire you're willing to run.

If you're going to build the motor down the road then I'd go with a whipple 2.9

If you want 600 to the wheels and cheap, get the beefcake special paxton or vortech and add the torque booster kit. I have it myself on an auto so my numbers a bit lower but all the people ive seen who own a manual and have it, get around 610 to the wheels. This is all on stock internals and a conservative Lund tune. I DD my car every day btw

I was told by vmp that the gen2r isn't worth it over the gen 2 if you're only running up to 12lbs. It would shine more at higher boost levels though.

Good for you! You made the right choice. Hopefully you didn't miss out on the Memorial Day discount.

Well I'm not sure if that's true or not.
But....
I just ordered a VMP gen 2-R, stage 2 kit through TPS Motorsports. Great guys there, very helpful.
*Shout out to Cesar and Mike!!
I opted for the 8psi pulley for now, new build next year or so and I'll turn it up.
That's awesome! Great choice, as you'll see.
Did you go with the special financing that they offer as well?

I didn't get a discount, but I used the 0% financing for 6 months great deal and makes it easier to pay!
Out the door with brisk plugs was $7,189. Not too bad I suppose
There you go brother!
Awesome.
