@FordTechOne Did you see this?

@FordTechOne DO YOU NOT SEE THE BLOCK? LOL

Did you even follow the link you googled? LOL!

Right. Ken Block's play truck got a better engine than Ford's Le Mans GT race cars... https://www.hooniganracing.com/pages/garage Sigh. And the "600" horsepower Hennessey trucks that dyno 420 at the rear wheels really make "600" horsepower. Both with upgraded turbos and without... Yikes. Put...

A Gen 3 Coyote with a Whipple Gen 5 is good for 700 whp on pump gas. On pump E85 they can go to 900+ whp. Really interested to see what yours puts down.

Here is an F-150 5.0 with stock internals running an 8.95 @ 154 mph... Now show me a fast Ecoboost. I won't bother waiting.

For those of you who still believe the fake news that FordTechOne typically spouts, here is why the passenger car version (the Raptor version) of the Ecoboost can't handle 600+crank horsepower. The reason is that the Ford GT version is a hand built race motor with far more exotic internals...

Anyone have any real world experience with the Carbon 88 or California Pony Car carbon fiber interior parts? I am interested in them but only if they are worth the cost. Pics please! Thank you!!

You don't say? Now where did all the never Trumpers go? :lol2:

Fake news. As always. 600 crank is really the upper safe limit. We have seen this since 2017 when Hennessey started putting upgraded turbos on these trucks. They don't do that anymore. Too many bottom end failures...

Turbo upgrades are not a safe upgrade for a Gen 2 with a stock bottom end.

And just in case anyone thinks the Gen 2 Raptor ever got an engine as good as the Ford GT's (which gets SMOKED by its competition), here you go... https://www.autoweek.com/news/sports-cars/a1718506/watch-ford-performance-build-gt-and-aftermarket-engines-hand/ Beyond that, the actual Le Mans...

When you say Ford has never offered "less", what specifically did you mean by that? Did you mean less, as in "fewer"? If so, you may want to check your notes on that, my little "friend" :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ford_engines#8_cylinder :lol2:

Can't wait to see what this thing can do with a Gen 5 3.8 liter Whipple up top. Also happy to see that Ford remains strongly committed to V8 engines until electric is ready for prime time (and doesn't rely on coal).

My CBR just started leaking after ~12k miles and 5 years of service. Decided to try a Ron Davis unit this time.

Do you mean Ford's "supercar" that only has a V6 due to ridiculous class rules at Le Mans?. The same car that gets SMOKED by heavier, lower priced competitors with V8s? That "supercar"? No. I am definitely not confused. Bud. :lol2:

Oh. Well then I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious. Post dyno results!

Who's trolling? What are you going to do with your little Jenny when the next V8 Raptor comes out (thanks to Dodge/Fiat and not you girls)? As for me, I will keep my Gen 1 and my 13th Gen 5.0. I will also be buying a 14th Gen 5.2 Raptor. :shrug:

You guys are pushing the limits. Please be sure to let the rest of the group know how long your motors last.

Who isn't making V8s much? Never in history have more manufacturers offered one. Take a look at the market.

I was never banned. Are we still denying the Gen 3 will have a V8 in this group or has reality set in? Talk to me.

Even though there have been so many, this isn't a known shortcoming of the Ecoboost platform. :shrug:

Actually, it does work. Everywhere. SC doesn't have different scientific properties than the rest of the universe :)

I was always turn off my AC several minutes before I arrive at my destination and crank up the fan speed to bring the ducts and vents back to ambient before leaving the truck. This prevents condensation.

The Gen 1 may already be past that point. https://www.thedrive.com/news/34119/the-v8-ford-raptor-could-be-the-next-big-collector-car Only time will tell if the Gen 2 is looked upon the same way. With respect to the electronics, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I figure there will be plenty...
