What big build coyote have they ever done? Haven't seen anything even approaching it.

Kind of a grey area question, isn't? Wouldn't that depend on one's opinion on what a "big" build is? To one person doing a full build with a NA stroker could be a big build. To someone else, a big build would be a full 275/KOTH 3000hp car.

They have that boss with the turbo 400 and D1 that run mid 9's.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

What's your definition of a big coyote build?

I'd say the whole car front to back. Brakes, suspension, axle, engine, trans, chassis. Not the cheap garden variety off the shelf shit you see everywhere.

The build is one thing, then the execution has to happen, it has to perform as it should. An example of which would be Holbrook. 7.90 with a stick and a 2.9 whipple, right off the trailer first time out.
