We’ve written extensively about AEM’s Infinity ECU for Coyote engines, including using it on our Cobra Jet engine build. This powerful processor is quickly becoming a favorite among Mustang enthusiasts and racers of all types, looking to push the Coyote engine platform past the capability of the OEM electronics, or need more capability than what the OEM processor offers.

Last year, Justin Burcham, the well known racer, and owner of Justin’s Performance Center (JPC), made the switch to AEM Infinity in his turbo coyote powered race car. Burcham surprised us at the NMRA World Finals last fall Burcham laying down a 7.78 at 181.50 mph, at the event. With his car revamped for the 2015 racing season, Burcham and his JPC Racing crew headed to Bradenton for the NMRA Spring Break Shootout last weekend.

Burcham and team, thrashed to get the car assembled, putting it together in just four days leading up to the event. Flight delays and problems, nearly prevented Burcham from making the call for round one qualifying in the Fluid Turbo Concepts Turbo Coyote Shootout. Burcham made the first round, and put down a quick 8.44 at 158.28 mph.

In round two, Burcham turned things up, and the car pulled the wheels not one, but four times. You can watch his car make the pass on the JPC Racing Facebook page. We were there to capture the nose pointed skyward on camera as well. Be sure to check out the video, it also shows AEM’s video overlay, which gives an overlay of specific engine parameters during the race. This is done using AEMdata analysis software.

In round three, Burcham put the power to the pavement, and put 1.5 seconds on the field. His final qualifying pass was a new Turbo Coyote record, 7.59 at 183.67 mph. With a sizable lead Burcham used the AEM Infinity to pull some power out of the car, and made easy work of the competition, handily winning the Turbo Coyote Shootout class.

How fast can Burcham go in Turbo Coyote? We’ll find out as the NMRA season rolls on, but we wouldn’t be surprised at all to see a low 7-second pass later this year.
