Alex Flores On Why Gen 2 Coyote Is King, The Legendary Mustang Cobra, and Tuning For Lund Racing

In todays episode we sit with Alex Flores who is a Tuner for Lund Racing to breakdown all of the Generations of the Mustang Coyote platform and which are best to build if you're looking to make some power on a budget. He also talks about the legendary Mustang Cobra which he believes is the precursor to the Dodge Hellcat platform. Alex breaks down a ton of different setups, and fueling as well. Alex flores is full of knowledge and tells us everyting we need to know from start to finish building a Mustang. Make sure to have your pen and pad ready as Alex educates us!

Very knowledgeable, gives it to you blue collar style. Love the transparency but personally I’m turned off by the “level” of shitposting he does on his YT channel. I’ll watch actual interviews like this with him all day long. Just hate the presentation of his content in the YT platform. Knows his shit though

Alot of Honda guys have made that transition because the coyote is so much like a K-series. Just imagine Honda made a K50, that would be a coyote

[@midnight347]

​@rickitysplitz7035 I agree. I respect someone who tells it like it is because I'm like that. I don't like the shady stuff that goes on and I get so tired of the Ford and s650 love fest when it's the worst all new mustang we've had in the modern era if not EVER. Mustang 2 comes to mind lol. This one is bad for different reasons though. It's a rehashed s550 with a locked down ecu and TUNING IS NOT COMING lol. News flash it's time for people to wake up and accept it. I don't like it anymore than anyone does in fact I hate it but it doesn't make it any less true. At least we still have the used stuff.

Alex has had a massive impact in the coyote community if not the car community. I hear people parroting stuff from his live the week after he says something. Alex’s channel kept me going through some very dark times, the mixture of comedy, education, and shit talking is found almost nowhere else in the car community. He puts out FREE information on a weekly basis and the knowledge I have gained from his channel since 2019 has been extremely helpful in understanding how my car works. I’m glad this podcast finally dropped! Also thank you for all your effort in getting this together. This was an easy to watch podcast and felt like I was in the shop with my boys.

[@LMBC6Brian]

Look. Im the LAST person to be riding on any bandwagon hes representing. But I have to give him props, Im a hobby coyote tuner of my own car and I didnt hear a single thing that he said that I know to not be true. He knows his shit for sure. The only thing I dont like is the lund sandbox talk. Which is exactly why I learned how to tune my own car. Because there are tons of "outside the box" settings I have changed and manipulated with my car that no tuner would take the time to refine for me. But I personally have my car exactly the way I want it, no matter what I want to use the car for. But great episode. Alex has my respect.

[@WordToMomsYo]

Never heard of this dude, but in the intro, as soon as he mentioned he was a millwright, i was locked on and knew i'd be sitting in for the whole episode. i'm only 15 minutes in, and immediately i can tell he's smart and thinks of engines holistically, with an almost natural, instinctual understanding of the system. My dad, too, was an engine mechanic (heavy equipment diesel mechanic - nyc operating engineers / iuoe), and i was brought up around those sorts of trucks and heavy equipment, and he brought me to work on numerous occasions, which sparked my interest in all things vehicular and mechanical from a young age. i grew up wanting to stay involved in that world, and it lead to my life-long interest and participation in building project cars of all sorts throughout the last 20 years. i didn't take it up as a proper career -- i'm an ironworker -- but at least i'm afforded the ability to work on cars in my free time, almost as a sort of meditation practice or low-stress physical puzzle solving exercise. I've also been a life-long Mustang/Ford fan.. like Alex, my first car was also a foxbody -- 1988 GT 5-speed... and yeah, I can remember being barely 18 years old and buying an admittedly ragged GT off a friend.. And that first year of working my way down the 14's, trying desperately to break into the 13's... LOL... it was a different time, and yeah, with time, experience, experimentation, lots of wrenching, and the, umm, "investment" of significant sums of money, i eventually learned how to build quicker and quicker cars. And i picked up a taste for european cars along the way, too, which i won't get into here... but yeah, still love my Mustangs. this episode has got me thinking about possibly getting a coyote-equipped Mustang myself.. i suppose time will tell. at any rate, thanks for this one!
