[QUOTE="dude1782, post: 1252485, member: 21025"] Suspension is definitely underrated in most performance applications. The raptor has enough power as is and can make respectable gains with simple modifications. Suspension upgrades will make a much bigger difference where it's important for this truck. When it does reach the point where it could benefit from more usable power a v8 could be supercharged but an ecoboost with upgraded turbos would have LESS hp/tq than stock until 3,000 or so RPM which is pretty significant. Stock it makes boost and decent tq before 2,000 which is reasonable but coming up on 3,000 is much less so. Aside from all that, most people want maximum hp to maximize their fun. They aren't considering whether or not the truck NEEDS power because it doesn't. A tune and some bolt ons will give it plenty of power and probably more than you would ever need, but some people want as much power as possible just to screw around, toast tires, and have fun. Blowing up their diffs and transfer case is an increased possibility but your depiction of them instantly shattering upon the application of increased power is dramatic. [/QUOTE]
