Looks great. I will bet you enjoy that, especially that flat tq line.

I was totally mislead when I bought her. It had an old '90 mustang gt in her that died when it hit 5000 rpm's. I'm a disabled veteran so I am not able to do this kind of work. I am also not a mechanic by any means. I have read different things about wanting a torque curve. Is the flat one good as well? My friend/builder said he was building it for daily driving.

Nice! I'm assuming that's a Gen 1 Coyote with a Cobra Jet intake? It didn't sound like what I expected at idle, but that might be because of the open headers. What's your idle RPMs?

I have seen a fox body roll off like that above 5-6,000. it turned out to be the intake and throttle body not allowing enough CFM through. Could be exhaust restriction, but you are running open headers, so rules that out.
We changed intakes, throttle body, and added larger injectors and it revved on up.

Yes GT, it's a gen 1 with Cobra jet. 65mm dual throttle body and GP headers.
