It also sounds stupid, but I'd like to get decent gas mileage out of it when cruising around town. I keep coming back to the Coyote mod motor with a magna charger because it is probably the only new blower that will fit under the hood. That setup probably weighs 25lbs more than a blown LS. With a big tire up front I'm not too worried about weight distribution. My 3800lb gt500 handles pretty well with 57 percent weight up front.

If any Ford guys have recommendations, please chime in! Links would be even better. I don't know much about Windsors or Clevors or FEs, etc.

Have you checked out Edelbrock's Supercharged 5.0L Coyote Crate Engine (700 HP & 606 TQ)? It sounds like a beast...
