I've had mine since '10 and I have no intention of selling it

Danzio sells an 830hp eco race engine - ported heads, cams, etc. I'd say we know what the upper limit looks like on race gas - this is designed to run in a trophy truck so durability is factored into that number. I'm sure there will be 'tuners' making dyno runs at higher numbers but I doubt...

I know there are at least two Gen 1s in here that have done it, one has a 4-link. I can’t find either to save my life. Can someone please post the link(s)? Pure curiosity about the work involved, I have no intention of doing it - not to my Gen 1 anyway. Thank you

I financed for two years at 1.5% then just paid it off. I hate payments. I don't look at success as a negative thing - doesn't matter how it's couched. The only comparison that matters is how you (not you specifically, the general you) compare to you say 5 or even 10 years ago. As a kid my...

None of you ******* in this thread have it bad, if you did you wouldn't be driving one of the most expensive trucks on the planet.

welcome!

lots of folks are running 650-700bhp on pump gas. I wouldn't look to push past that. WRT the rest of the drive line, guys have snapped axles running NA so it's all in how you treat the truck.

I have no preference between the two (R vs W). If you are going to build the engine later, get the whipple. If not, the roush 650 package is probably plenty. The issue I have with an LS swap is that you lose all the Raptor electronics (ORM, etc). If I could do it and keep the goodies, I'd...

racing brake makes a two piece rotor (F/R), they are like 9xx a set for the front, 8xx a set for the rear. http://www.racingbrake.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=ford+raptor&Extensive_Search=Y

The back story on cams: long story short - we can't run aggressive cams without changing the pistons. Ford lied, the R/XT cams won't fit so our engines aren't 'essentially' the same as the Raptor R. bottom line, it costs a fortune to make this ******* ************* engine make any power. I...

Our 6.2 doesn't respond nearly as well as the LS 6.2

As I've said in previous posts, the limit isn't going to be the engine. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, you still have to run ****** pump gas which is going to limit your max power. Even an e85 tune is only an option for a select few (~15% of gas stations). I doubt very seriously...

There could be hp/tq variation but I'd lean more towards weight, increased drivetrain loss and rotational mass being the culprit. Back when the ecoboost dropped in 2011, those guys were insufferable with their youtube vids of fx2s beating Raptors at a stoplight to stoplight run. I pulled up...

Cool story

If logic and common sense were involved, yes. I'm guilty of 'needing' a Raptor and I paid more than my share of Raptor tax because of it.
