Winning over converts daily
The ecoboost truly is amazing when you drive it, I encourage you to go drive one even with the lower HP the TQ is amazing.

So tuned 2017 will be faster than a gen1 with blower? Saweet

Personally if I wanted to go fast on road i'd get a gt-r or gt3 instead of a gen2, to me any truck is still slow as balls..

Yes the 17 will be faster than a blown 6.2. The 17 walks away from our Shelby supercharged 6.2

Can you imagine with a tune and E85?
Another 100HP and another 150TQ more than likely over what you have now.

Oh ya, its gonna be nuts.

I'd pay good money for you guys to put up a video of the two against each other. Pecos at 27th Ave is a good place to do something like that... I live right there, pm me if you go out.

The 2017 tune will have more TQ and more HP than a SC Gen 1, definitely and easily. Already Gen 1 ecoboosts out there doing that now.
You also won't have to spend $20K on SC, bottom end rebuild and fueling to make it happen.
Remember TQ is king with these big tires and I would expect close to 600 on a tune, the current Ecoboost is out of fuel down low so they are limited by that to produce more TQ even on bigger turbos. This new PFI/DI is a godsend to all of us.
As far as going fast I prefer my CTS-V, current build in progress goal is 1300WHP and high 8's.

700+ horsepower on just a tune?

700+ horsepower on just a tune?

I'm going to assume 450HP stock (crank)
So around 400WHP + 50HP tune and +50HP E85 so 500WHP at a MINIMUM
I would also guess 500TQ + 75 tune and + 75 E85 so 650WTQ at a MINIMUM
The TQ is key, the truck already moves smartly in my '15 stock, the new Raptor stock will already be amazing stock as well with 100+ more TQ already.

i like the idea that a tune can get you substantially more power but at what expense. i remember having an ecoboost in my 14 FX4 prior to getting my raptor. i had a 5* performance tune installed. she moved but also sounded like she needed to take a breather half the time. she was absolutely at the top end of her limits and just sound strained every time i hit the gas. i know the new one is entirely new, but i suspect tuners are going to be blowing up a few of their fair share.

i'm sure though that the gen 2 is pretty damn solid stock. looks are growing on me. i don't care what it sounds like personally, loud is getting old to me. i'm more concerned with performance and reliability.

I don't have that in my '15, it just keeps pulling and pulling and it's tune only.
Wife complains when it rains it spins too easily from the TQ even on 34.5" tires.
