26X6X15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Radials in the front
325/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET streets in the Back.
I got the set up from Brenspeed... If you are going to go with this setup with the 15 in fronts, you will HAVE to do a break conversion to the 05-10 Gt brakes (rotors and Calipers) or get the 17 in rims to clear the current calipers. I got my 05 brakes from Galpin Ford's ebay site. I think I paid 170 for the the whole set up. easy swap job and a little cheaper than getting the 17 in racestars for the front. Also the lug nuts that come with the Racestars are crap. Do yourself a favor and get some McGards.

After waiting patiently for the last few days, the Whipple 624 hp kit has been installed. Drove it all the way back from Phoenix to SD with no issues... Cant wait to go to the track.... I have attached one pic taken with my Blackberry for now.. I will add more once I get the beast cleaned.

Nice set-up! For that 624 HP, what PSI boost are you pumping into your manifold? If my guess is correct, you probably are getting about 9psi manifold. The Coyote makes crazy power on very little boost due to its massive CR.
As for reliability on such a high CR (11:1 CR on our Coyotes), I believe VMP (a professional modder shop) is racing theirs on 11.7psi boost manifold and getting low 10's every single time, maybe some 9's too. I cannot remember, but they have a thread somewhere showing their accomplishments. I do not know if 11.7psi manifold is a good thing for a Coyote that is put on the street alot, so maybe you might want to consider if you will only be going to the track or doing lots of street driving if you are going to up your boost.

The mustang is currently my daily driver until I move.
