- '08 5.0 Coyote Adrenalin
Well, I finally got the 5.0 Coyote Adrenalin to a 1/8 mi dragstrip last weekend. With a full weight truck, and the spare tire and bed cover on, it ran an 8.89 at 83 mph. I only made 2 full passes.
On the 3rd pass, I tried a more aggressive launch, got some wheel spin, and the rear gave me some wheel hop. Before I could get out of the gas fast enough, it snapped a halfshaft and had to get towed off the track. Doh!
These axles are very prone to wheel hop even on the street, so I may have to come up with a way to get a solid axle under there.
I think this truck had a few more tenths in it. I was taking it real easy out of the gate, almost bogging it down. Shifting at around 6800 rpm (the Coyote will go to 7000).
8.80's is faster than a bolt-on 99-04 Mustang GT, so I'm happy. I have no doubt I could push this down to 8.60's with some seat time. Not too bad for a 5000 lb truck, eh?
