2 Raptor household now, finally went to the darkside

[Gerald]

you got me envious. One for play and one for pleasure. Hmmm; How do I sell my wife on that....?

How much for your wife? I don't have two Raptors........but maybe two wives can be had for the right price........

what kinda numbers did the 454 put down?

511hp don't remember torque. it pretty much can spin the tires in every gear. Used to go through a lot of tires

I know somebody that has a bone stock 92 454SS. He only takes out for a quick joy ride once or twice every summer. Nice truck, but his is a little underwhelming as it only makes about 235 hp.

That big block Chevy truck probably always had more bark than bite, but in the day it was quick for the period I guess. But just having a big block in a truck then was like wow. Still always a ton of potential.

I bet the torque curve wasn’t bad in your modded truck.

Mine is a 93 so they only made 840 that year and was the final year. Engines had a ton torque 405ish , hp 255. Cam change could get you to 300hp. Last time i raced 14 years ago it ran 13.2 1st gear was impossible to use , pretty much 2nd and 3rd gear run. Old technology. But its still fun.

Congrats on the new purchase and addition! ​

Well that’s cool it’s certainly a collectors truck. Yeah old tech but fun and you got it running really good. Hell if you worked with it some more 12’s were in reach and that’s pretty quick! Any idea what your MPH was through the traps?

Did you look in Houston?

Yeah I looked at just about every Gen2 supercab on AutoTrader.

I do have a question does the Torsen come with 802a ? I didn't see it on my window sticker.

@1BAD454SSv2 how did mounting the kenwood remote head up there end up working out long term? Was there any issue with vibration or movement due to the weight of the head? Also did you just pinch the headliner between the two PCI plates? Thanks in advance!
