    Rumor: The Ford F-150 Raptor Is Getting the Mustang GT500's Supercharged V-8

    You might have to take into consideration drive line durability with the GT500s power and RPM limits. A Youtuber blew his transfer case with 850HP Whipple Coyote RCSB, with what could have been a very bad result. He handled the situation well and made a great recovery with very little damage...

    Rumor: The Ford F-150 Raptor Is Getting the Mustang GT500's Supercharged V-8

    I haven't posted in this forum since I bought my Plain Jane work truck. I had a feeling there would be thread on this topic near the top of the list of threads. Not sayin it won't happen, but I would be surprised.

    My Experiences Trying to Buy a Raptor over the last 8 months.

    It's funny the price you mentioned, that was exactly what I offered the guy today for the SCAB, the odd thing was he thought I was a broker at first wanting to buy their truck. Mike

    Just got hit by a deer...

    Glad your ok! I was driving in the early morning to a customers in Michigan a few weeks ago. A couple deer ran across the road about 100 yards a head of me then just stopped along the side of the road, it wasn't that close, could have been if I was 10-20 seconds later. Freaked me out too. I...

    My Experiences Trying to Buy a Raptor over the last 8 months.

    My experiences are very much like the OP's. I've never seen car dealers with such attitude. It's even worse if you're looking for a SCAB, strictly an order out. It doesn't even seem like they care to do that for you unless it's MSRP+5K. I found a SCAB 300 miles away and filled out the online...

    Other 800A Owners? My 800A+ Build Thread

    Great to hear! It seems like the thread covering this on the F150 forum convoluted and hard to follow.

    Other 800A Owners? My 800A+ Build Thread

    There are threads in the F150 forum for owners that want to do this, from used parts bought from salvage yards. A few companies sell plug and play kits but they are very expensive compared to going the salvage yard route. Here's video that shows what is involved with one of the plug and play...

    GEN 2 Mpg innacurate reading on cluster vs pump method

    Curious what grade of fuel the OP is using? If Ford uses simply the amount of gas that is flowed to the injectors then on lower grade fuels the amount used compared to the actual amount of power generated could be different than someone that uses a higher grade of fuels that generate more...

    Yep....Here is an actual picture of one with a stamped tailgate. Interestingly it's an 800A with only stickers and Tailgate step. Mike

    2018 Ford F-150 RTR Concept Truck

    No details that I can see on the engine, whether is N/A or Boosted. With the fender clearance shown in the pictures and long-travel coilover suspension the bump stops would have to be the body...OUCH! Mike

    Whats with dealers only having 802a raptors and not more base models?

    Exactly...It's your truck do what you want. When you consider 802A adds almost 20% to the cost of the truck, that's a bunch of dough in my book. The $2K stickers are the biggest rip which is pretty hard to find a truck in stock without them. I'm not sure I would want to take on what your doing...

    Gen 2 Raptor Grille Upgrades

    haha...Is it just me or do those pictures look like CAD renderings or Photoshopped images? Perhaps it's just the effects that were added to the photos? They seem like they should go well with 24" wheels. Mike

    Other 800A Owners? My 800A+ Build Thread

    Great thread, good to see a DIY project like the one you're taking on. There are guys like Livinitup and BoostedGrayGoose on the F150 forum that have done exactly what you're doing but not with a Raptor. I'm sure you've been reading those threads, they are pretty interesting when you look at the...
