Default 2016 5.0 - NOS is ordered
So as much as I think that my 5.0 is the FUNNEST truck I've ever owned, and has traction issues most of the time in 1st gear, it's time to remove NOS from the bucket list.
I ordered a NOS Coyote 5.0 plate kit, added the window switch just to be safe, as I'm told on a 75shot will be just fine, as long as I don't hit it too low.
Anyone have any input from experience?

Pretty sure the 5.0 does not have forged pistons so i don't think i would do a 75 shot. You might get more bang for your buck than you want.

It won't be the "funniest" for long.... probably won't even be funny.
