Crate Coyote 6,000 + change. Having an extra motor if something happened to the modded Coyote to put back in=Priceless. Eliminate downtime and cover both bases. Plus it will give you something to experiment with on the mods list- they are growing everyday for the Coyote!

I put 540 to the wheels everyday, and all of it goes to the ground.

The point of someone getting a built motor and an M90 is like buying a set a fake **** and putting them on a fat chick. Worthless.

I can understand if the motor blows for some reason and then you a put a built one in. Why on earth would you not get something that operates at a better efficency near the 500 rwhp mark? A bigger or more efficent blower,(pretty much anything else but the M90) works less with less heat and drivetrain loss at the 10 psi mark. I'm just saying there are better choices. The M90 was a good blower, 10 years ago. Compared to whats available now, there just no comparison.

Why set a limitation on yourself?

i agree with you on the forged bottom, a TVS or something else would be better. i have long said if you don't want to get into the internals, the M90 is perfect

I agree, 6K on the S197 will make it fun and the other 14K on a Fox for the track but, it also could be street driven!
