I found this to be a very well written article on the way the ecoboost operates. It is written in layman’s terms for the mechanically inclined amateur and assumed limited prior knowledge. It’s a good primer for understanding what is happening under your hood...

Pics or it didn’t happen.

There are no guarantees. From what I’m finding... a good tuner who really knows the intricacies of the engine... who can tune close to the edge without crossing it.... will get you in the neighborhood of 600 horsepower and 575 torque, reliably on a stock block. there have been raptors...

Yeah no E50 here and a lot more than 2K.

I’m working this week but maybe I can do something next week.

I know a guy who can set you up. Goes by ZFG

They’re on the wrong side the country. If they’re willing to come east... I think it would be a ton of fun... I have no idea if I’d win the show down but I’m pretty confident that I’d be competitive and hang with one, assuming I can figure out the traction issue. I wonder how the TRX is able...

I can’t comment on this topic, but I can say that I’d be willing to compare my performance to any other non E85 3.5 Raptor and I’m pretty confident that I would be competitive. I also believe my truck would give a solid run against a TRX. I’m super happy with the results. Thanks ZFG!

I’m like the peanut gallery... Can you set him up with a pump tune and maybe a blended tune with his current EVO pump? Will it do E50? Then he can have fun with the beast and then revisit the injectors in a little while. I’m just thinking if I were him.... he’s been without his truck for...

I’m being as honest as I can. as you all know... the last version of this build with the dyno tune from the shop... it was very very disappointing.... and at that time I really believed that it was technical limitations of the engine and parts based on the situation and I was wrong. No...

I’m definitely going to get some data for the dyno to see where it all ended up. Whatever numbers it’s making.... is what it can make... that much I believe. It’s certainly a lot more than it was.

I was seriously thinking that I was trading this truck in on a TRX until ZFG came to the rescue. It’s not just the power... it flat out runs great. It idles perfectly smooth. It has great throttle response. It has no drivability issues. It was what I had hoped the truck could be when I...

I think his issue was that they were +3 deavers and it makes for an acute angle. I’ll get them to work... I’m sure I can fabricate a solution if they don’t tuck in around the Leaf spring loop the way they should. At this point... they’re free. :-)

I have deavers. They had mostly cured the axle wrap and axle hop on my last setup. It’s definitely back. I have a RAS setup in the garage I haven’t used. I’m going to try it and see if it’s enough. It’s hard to say what type of power it is making without a dyno. I’m at the mercy of pump...

I’m not very good at launching from a dead stop with this setup. Prior.... tune stock turbos usual bolt ons... 4A, rev it up and punch it.... and it just grabbed and went. I have tried doing that with this a few times and I even tried 4 hi and it’s ridiculous that I can’t stop it from burning...

I don’t have a lot of room around here to do a 1/4 mile safely. I may have to see if I can find drag strip and get a real slip... I don’t want to be doing 115mph in an unproven area on a quarter mile run... that’s how good fun turns into a tragedy and it’s just not worth it. I’m having a...

sorry was supposed to be a double Negative. Would not not. But I edited the post. I do think the this final product was worth the investment. It’s pretty crazy how fast it is now on 93 octane.

The more I drive it.... the more Im having a blast.

To answer the big question.... Was the build worth the money? yes.... for me.... it was and I would definitely recommend it and do it again.

Me too. I was ready to give up. I thought it was all a big disappointment and now I have a really fun truck that exceeds my expectations.

I was desperately asking anyone and everyone whom I respect. The stars aligned and ZFG definitely delivered. :-)

Afternoon, I created a new thread because the old one doesn’t do it justice. As many of you are aware, I was disappointed with my previous tune and build. AFE intake, WHIPPLE intercooler, AMS intake tubes, CRP stage 4 turbos, CRP manifolds, Kooks Downpipes, 170 degree thermostat. I came...

I just don’t think the numbers are accurate. multiple sources now have put the TRX in the 3.7-3.9 second category and based on the rear wheel horsepower that the truck should produce.... if I had to guess... close to 600... as dodge has perennially underestimated their hellcat output... it is...

Please know that I wasn’t looking to point fingers or disparage any products... I see where this thread has bounced around. Admittedly, I was disappointed in the results but it doesn’t mean that this wouldn’t be a reasonable upgrade for some people, knowing up front about what power they’ll...

No but if you google around... it’s basically hard core solvent and it is really hard on o2 sensors Et al. Burns orange. It’s fine for a bad tank of gas or an incidental 87 fill up but I don’t think I’d be keen on using it for daily.
