Raptor vs 3.5

[OPT PRIME]

After cruising through various online OEM parts vendors it seems the only difference between the Raptor and regular 3.5 engines are the pistons and block? The part number for the cams, rods, heads, turbos and even the inter-cooler, all the way down to the 2.7L, show to be the same part numbers. The Raptor pistons are $10 more a piece.

That means we can use the full race intercooler for the reg F150 and avoid the Add raptor tax

And the only difference between a raccoon and a grizzly bear is the length of the claws

Are you sure? I just looked. Same 2017 Raptor and F150.

The prefix of the part# is different; Raptor is HL7E 6K682AA

"Normal" F150 are HL3Z 6K682A

If you skip to the 8 minute mark Jamal Hameedi kind of explains the differences, doesn't go into much detail tho.

Random question but why are those TFL guys always about 1 sec slower on their 0-60 then other reporters? I can somewhat understand it with a NA engine at elevation, but he was getting 6.2 sec at sea level which does not make any sense.

Haha good question, I was wondering the same. I watched their video of them racing a Gen 2 MPT tuned vs a Gen 1 stock and the MPT Gen 2 was getting a 6.8s 0-60 time
