First off I will address flow number question the True Numbers from livernois they had them 296/204 @.450 they do not offer a CNC port for the gen2 3.5Eb only for gen1 3.5Eb you can gain 15/20 CFM gain on their Hand port. and had no Lift for .550 just a little better than the 257/198 @ .450 not a lot better. Flow # are not based on Boost. Boost is one side boost is not made on exhaust.LOL but you know that.
You’re forgetting flow on the exhaust stroke is a determined by back pressure in the exhaust manifold before the turbo. The exhaust port is not the limiting factor. Which is why comparing flow numbers between N/A and F/I heads isn’t conclusive.
unlike others here you will have a tough time trolling me but I applaud the effort.
I’m just not seeing why you’re so invested in a swap for a vehicle you don’t own. Gen 2 has been out for 8 years now; engine swaps are anything but common. Just because someone hacked a 7.3/10R140 into a Gen 2 doesn’t make it a good swap, in fact it’s the opposite in terms of weight, performance, and complexity.
Find me a 1000 hp 3.5eb not the one Garrett has on the stand. One on the Dino making pulls. or one pulling 850 at the wheels. I have looked I haven't found one yet. and I am not saying they’re not out there I just haven't found one.
Goosetuned is putting down 700+WHP on the stock engine with bolt ons.
RMB short blocks support 1000+HP:
Custom RMB Motorworks 2017-2019 F150 ecoboost short blocks. 700-1000+ Horsepower.

Regardless, where is all this supposed demand for “850” or more horsepower? Tune only trucks are running 4 second 0-60 and 12’s in the quarter; you can only use so much power on the street.
So that is one reason there are others.
Making a 1000 is my bottom if you have 4 wheels and want to go fast. In something weighing 3500 (not that is raptor weight) LOL
Now I can find tons of 7.3 pulling on the Dino couple of 1000 lots of 850. Dose it make it a better engine. NOPE!!!
Ok..does your truck have 1000HP? No…so how is that your bottom? Horsepower is rarely the limiting factor on an off road vehicle, 1000 is not even usable on a street vehicle. Adding 400lbs over the front axle of a Baja truck is detrimental to its entire purpose of going fast off road; adding horsepower does not make up for that.
so you may think the aftermarket world is strong with the 3.5 and it might be but if you cant see it with a quick search in this day in age. Well draw your own conclusion.
See above. Aftermarket performance upgrades are everywhere, not sure what search engine you’re using…
You act like I make the rules. I don't when I say IT WILL HAPPEN. that is not up to me. I can say it with confidence because it already has. There is a guy out there that put a 7.3 in his gen2. now if it happens in mass I have already said I don't know. I stand by that statement. I do not control what others do with their swaps I am just an observer. Speculating where things might go. Based on things I have seen in the past.
It’s a one-off. No rational person would waste thousands of dollars hacking up their truck to swap in a heavier engine with less power. You can make more power than even the “megazilla” on a stock Gen 2 engine with bolt-ons and a tune.
