[QUOTE="bubblehead93, post: 1655059, member: 19576"] As has been stated many times, not many options for these motors from a performance perspective. I have a 2011 Raptor Supercrew that I have owned since new... CAI, LT headers, and tune plus a number of suspension mods... While the motor has only 85,000 miles on it I've been hungry for a long time to start building a motor before what limited aftermarket that does exist dries up... There is practically only one source for performance parts on these motors and while I started looking to build a stroker motor I realized that the 400 cui offering out there was an expensive ~0.065" (4.015" to 4.080") overbore and a 0.080" (3.74" to 3.82") increase in stroke. So while 400 cui is a cool number, I decided against pursuing a stroker and instead pursuing an overbore option which will yield a ~392 cui motor. I'm staying n/a so higher compression is in order, just shy of 11:1 through some custom pistons (Diamond) on Manley rods. The cams will be a Dan Crower (DCR) regrind and Cody Dawson (Perfect Circle Engines) will be prepping a set of heads for me. The truck is a daily driver, so the cost will be a bit higher as I'm going to build a separate motor by sourcing good cores (block, crank, and heads) and assemble the long block so that I just need to swap over the accessories and intake once it is time for the motor swap. Timeline for the build will be mostly driven by discretionary time on my part so please be patient. Intend to post pictures along the way... so I hope this will be helpful for some to outline a build they could do... In any event, welcome to my journey if you care to come along... [/QUOTE]
