Yea, at 28psi on pump gas.

ford will probably not respond to this at all….at least not until the R is retired. The call for more HP in the every man’s raptor has gone unanswered for many years.

They could just respond by doing everyone a solid and just “accidentally” leaking the key to unlock the 23+ ecu’s.

The reality is it seems at 28psi as a stock boost level the hurricane is more stressed stock than a Goosetuned stage 2 3.5, which definitely makes way more power and torque at the crank than the hurricane. I don’t see this 3.0 having much more left in it at all with that boost and power level from the factory.

Probably not....but its got a warranty and it makes more "power" than our 3.5EB's. Clearly something needs done, but ford has shown an unwillingness to take the standard raptors power to a truly unique level. Hate to say it, but around 550hp would be a nice spot!
No. Instead they release an R that costs $150k and makes dealers look like scum.

In their defense the 3.5HO numbers were pretty ground breaking when the Gen 2 came out. Since then they’ve really just focused on suspension and chassis dynamics because off road (which is what the truck is built for) it’s still suspension limited even at 450hp.

True, but a major miss to release the Gen 3 with zero increase in power.

Im sure some guys will

Zero increase in rated power. There was a increase in compression ratio.

Unfortunately, the next bump in power will likely come from electrification.
