[QUOTE="chartguy, post: 117163, member: 1389"] [b]A total package[/b] One of the biggest benefits of the Raptor is the fact that SVT engineered all the parts to work very well together. Everything from the more radical cam in the Boss 6.2 to the transmission programming and the diffs have been designed and tested as a total package. The Ram-Runner is a bunch of parts that lets Dodge/Chrysler claim a bit more suspension travel. Computer makers do that all the time. One company makes a great leap forward. A competitor will take something that does not work as well, and tweak it like crazy to get one specification a bit better than the "great leap forward". The competitor's tweaked part does not do anything, except that one spec, any better, and typically it sacrifices a lot of other benefits to get that spec. How much testing do you think Chrysler did on those parts? Was it 10% of the testing time that SVT did on the Raptor? The Raptor is the "great leap forward". The Ram-Runner is the engineers way of letting the marketing guys brag about a spec (suspension travel). The Raptor is engineered as a "total package", not a bunch of add-on parts. [/QUOTE]
