I received my Coyote Gen 4X a few weeks ago, and will be going with the Ford ECU pack again. It was a very solid setup on my Coyote Gen 3, and reasonably straight forward to install.

Lots of opinions on what tools you might "need", but I can confirm having some 3/16" clecos on-hand will be helpful. The Power Probe III was recommended to me. I don't regret buying one. Was so helpful in testing my wiring...limits the unintended smoke releases. I used a manual rivet puller on my Cobra build, and will again on my Coupe build. Only issue was on 3/16" stainless rivets--those were a bear! I also bought a 30" brake, but didn't end up using it as much on my Roadster build as I thought I would. Maybe that will change on my Coupe build.

P.S. by your handle I assume you're in the Pacific Northwest? If you don't mind me asking, whereabouts?
Letting the magic smoke out is never a good thing. I would be interested in which rivet puller you used/are using. I also have a manual rivnut puller which I am planning but may get a larger one. I love my rivnuts! I tried to update my profile today with location, Avatar and signature but apparently I need 20 posts prior to that happening. I am in Damascus, just on the east side of Portland on the way to the mountain. I get up to Spokane every now and then so maybe can connect one of these days. I have read your roadster build thread which is great and looking forward to following along with your coupe thread as well.
