There have been a few shops that have done them, here is a video of one shop.

A Ram TRX? 700hp and a factory warranty.

What all have you done to it to have "all" the mods done?

Any Coyote swap is a major expense and a ton of work. Everything is different from the PCM and harnesses to the transmission. The Velociraptor in the video posted by @CoronaRaptor costs $148,000, including the truck. That puts the conversation cost at around $75,000, at least from Hennessy. Even at that cost and with a 2.9L Whipple, it’s still only putting down 570HP to the wheels. What are you at with your current setup?

If you want more power, your most cost effective route is a built short block from RMB Motorworks. They’re all fully forged and even the Stage 1 is good for up to 700 WHP and starts at less than $5k. Stage 2 supports 1000WHP and is only $1k more.

If you absolutely must have a V8, wait and see what Ford comes out with for Gen 3. With the competition from the TRX, chances are there will be an option for the 5.2 Predator engine in a high-end model. With the cost of a V8 swap on a 2nd gen, it would be surely be cheaper to buy a 3rd Gen Predator. Not only that, but it would be all OE engineered and tested with a full factory warranty.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this company. I believe they are appropriately $50k for an engine swop

@FordTechOne - roughly how much hp/torque can the factory 10spd handle in the Raptor? I have zero interest in adding power to the truck (I’m not throwing away my extended warranty for 8 years), but I’m just curious.

You could always sell your Gen 2 now while the prices are super high, get yourself a 700hp supercharged gen 1 for about 40k, with the extra 20k you could save it for the Gen 3 or blow it all on Hookers and Blow.

"Guy" has done the work and spent the money on the ecoboost. He advised that even maxing it out didn't get close to TRX numbers.

Since Guy did same as you and found same, best idea is to demod if you can and sell.
