[QUOTE="NE Raptor, post: 1441961, member: 29669"] So hypothetically speaking - do you guys think it will be a performance version of the 7.3L engine? We all know they aren't going to put a heavier engine than the current one and also reduce the power levels....regardless if people want a V8 or not...whatever the new engine is, you can be certain that they aren't going back in power with the TRX coming out. So do you think this NA 7.3 has what it takes to comfortably make a lot more power than the super duty version is advertised at? If you are in a raptor then you shouldn't care too much about fuel mileage but if it is detuned and getting horrible mileage, you can bet the performance version will do a lot worse and that is definitely something Ford is discussing for the masses. anyone every own an 8.1 chevy? it got 6mpg no matter what - cruising with a tail wind, city, hwy, towing a house....6 mpg. Of course we have 6 more gears now which helps. I am traditionally a V8 guy myself and was very skeptical of this 3.5TT. I am stock other than Cobb Tune/Filter. I think it would be hard to go away from forced induction and get back into something with an NA V8 that had reduced HP/TQ. I do miss the rumble/peace of mind of a NA V8 but everything else aside, I very much enjoy driving this truck, especially after tuning. A smaller displacement ecoboost V8 would be on my wishlist. I would be surprised to see a new gen raptor come out with lower than 500hp/575tq. In my opinion that needs to be a forced induction motor. I don't see the 7.3 making that kind of power - current rating is 430/475. Maybe they have 2 offerings to appeal to everyone.... [/QUOTE]
