I was wondering if anyone knew what parts I can put in the raptor to help out with fuel economy. I kinda want it to be at 20 mpg or better. If i can't get it that close, oh well. Oh, price really isn't an issue, but i would like to keep it under 2 grand.

thanks again

Spend the 2 grand on gas cuz it's gonna be impossible to get 20mpg or even close to that without an engine swap.

It needs to go on a diet and tuned lean then a little help drafting or a very strong tail wind.

Won't happen. Skinny light weight wheels and tires, long tubes and high flow cats, tuning, and only drive downhill with a tail wind.

To get 20 MPG from a Raptor you need to get an exemption from the laws of physics.
