For beginners, I am thinking G-Force 5-speed, McLeod Soft-Lok or an Advanced Clutch, Strange Brakes, Santuff Struts, Afco Shocks, 9.5" Strange or MW Pumpkin, Big Stuff 3 or the new Holley EFI to avoid rev limiter, and cosult with some of the Mod Motor guys on some camshaft input.

I have been watching the progress guys are making with the 5.0 Coyote Mustangs.
For Stock Eliminator, I would think the first thing will be new "drag only" cams that eliminate the VVT. Plus, with more aggressive ramps & duration.
The one sweet spot about the 5.0C is that the intake flows well. I would foresee guys shifting @ 7500 rpm plus.
The 5.0 Coyote definitely has race motor potential written all over it.
