    2013 ...Is this the year for the ecoboost Raptor ?

    I can honestly say I don't care if they offer an eco-boost in the raptor. I would however be extremely ticked off if they got rid of the 6.2 option or din't provide some similar type of option. I'd really like to see a 6.2 that is built to stand up to a nice aftermarket supercharger....and...

    How soon can we order the 2013 Ford Raptor?

    If you are getting what you want I wouldn't spend a minute regretting getting a 12. I'm holding out more because i have to be financially respinsible for the family than because i want to see the 13. It's not like they will put everything in it the way we want it anyway so if the time is right...

    2013 Ford Raptor

    So close. I just got back from Mexico and my crappy jeep died the day before I left. I was half hoping it was major so I could order or buy the raptor when I got home. I saw a silver screw on. A pvt transport on the way back from the airport which started the color question in my mind again...

    2012 silver screw on transport through Indy

    On the off chance some one on here has a12 screw in silver on a transport I passed it today on I70 heading east. I just flew in from Mexico and phone was packed so no pictures sorry. I will say it was a good looking truck. Hope it reaches home soon.

    Whipple's 6.2L 650hp Raptor system

    sorry about your challenges. It is why I have become more an more of a Ford Racing guy. You have to be patient and sometimes sacrifice a little on a dyno sheed but the stuff is ready and works like it's supposed to. I would do a lot different on my GT500 if I had it to do over and I like the...

    2013 Ford Raptor

    Now that people are just starting to get their 2012's I thought I'd ask if anyone had heard any rumors about the 2013? For those with the 2012 is it perfect or is there anything that you would like to see on a 2013 model? I paid off the last of my toys last month and just got my tax bill...

    Money saving tip, don't over-octane your Raptor!

    From one on my Mustang forum that knows a lot more about this stuff than I do....He does not subscribe to my theory of it can't be fixed with a hammer it's an electrical problem Sorry to hi-jack, I just really found this interesting: "There are torque limits baked into stock tunes for...

    Money saving tip, don't over-octane your Raptor!

    I had not heard about the octane sensing. i did a little digging and came up with this on the V6 Mustang from MM & FF: "Ford also worked outside the engine to make the package a better fit for the Mustang. The powertrain ECU has been upgraded with a very aggressive deceleration cylinder...

    Money saving tip, don't over-octane your Raptor!

    This will be very interesting to see if there is a consistent and considerable difference. I'd be interested in how the computer detects the gas in there and adjusts a tune accordingly...this would be amazing technology IMO and if it could be broadened to say 87 - 110 octane that would...

    2013 ...Is this the year for the ecoboost Raptor ?

    I test drove the eco-boost f150 and though all the dyno charts etc show a wider range under the curve i did not care for the low end lag. No one else seems to think anything about and everyon dis agrees with my opinion but I felt the lag down low. Specifically driving off the lot and at idle...

    Whipple's 6.2L 650hp Raptor system

    I tried to read through all of this so apologies if this has already been asked: 1. Has anyone driven a truck with this first hand? How is the drivability changed with the tune and extra airflow? I know with the GT500's there were a lot of challenges with the big monoblade TB....I have one...

    Banking and Credit Questions

    This is good advice for any age really. Especially since this is a want for anyone and a need for no one. I made myself agree to wait until after my 2011 taxes are paid because I hate carrying too much debt. I've been pretty good about paying in advance this year so i shouldn't owe more than...

    Raptor for $320 - Great Deal

    that looks like the new chevy colorado! I just put together the power wheels Raptor for my little girl today. I took a before and after pick with my cel phone so you can all see it in a pile of parts and then the end product. It's not the best picture as it was in the garage (Santa is...

    All-New Chevy Colorado Revealed

    GM trucks as a whole leave me feeling pretty empty inside. This one is good for a laugh but it has to be one of the ugliest creations since that Asstech they put out by pontiac. Dodge at lease has some decent looking trucks even if they are street trucks they look good doing it.

    EXCLUSIVE: Whipple 2.9 for 6.2 info released

    I have not seen a 6.2 rod/piston but here is one out of a GT500. My GT500 is running all stock internals and sitting at approx. 785 rwhp now so I do agree that the motor will hold plenty of power but I also agree that that just because 1 does won't mean they all can. The tune/timing...

    Color observation

    No one has a red truck yet :) But I know there were some issues with the GT500's in red at one point with the paint. I've never been a flat red fan but I like the candy with the metalic in it alot. I saw the red on a Focus and decided it wasn't for me though. I am still 80% towards blue...
