What’s it take to get to the oil drain with all the skids installed? Do they all Have to come down every time?

Doh! That’s funny. I totally took that the wrong way. Yep I picked up a dif skid plate but that’s an easy job. I’ll get that on when my truck is back home. I tried the RCI skids first and the coverage wasn’t great. Krazy house was similar to Foutz... I ended up with Foutz because I...

There is no other good option that provides the same coverage.

So as part of finishing my build... I had installed Foutz skid plates and then I used RCI for the gas tank. my truck is still in the shop. For those with foutz or Ford performance... how do you change the oil? Does that middle skid plate come off easily? Just want to know what to expect!

The raptor rightly deserves a lot of credit towards innovation. However, I think you can look back to Hummer and even Jeep, as predecessors to the idea that you can do it all on road and off road. Ford took it to the next level, but some of that has to do with watching what enthusiasts were...

I agree that my BMWs sound very favorable in comparison, but I don’t think it’s entirely relevant to compare a German luxury Brand to a Ford F-150. One of my BMWs even spritzes out high end cologne from the HVAC.

Retains and passes through

Little update to wet the whistle. My build is in the final stages. I’ll possibly have some numbers by next week. We know one member here with the state 4 turbos did 530 horsepower and about 500 torque on a 5th gear pull, in a bullet proof safe tune. That’s pretty good stuff. Let’s see where...

I’d say it’s no worse than anything else.

Did you do drop shackles and long travel? You have to post the shocks through the bed? You’re a maniac with this stuff!

You’re right. I’m just feeling pessimistic. Lol

Those turbos and manifolds are a big job. to the tune of 2-3 full days of expert labor — not counting the tune. E85 should be good for 650-700 horsepower.

Win, it’s not just the torque.... it’s that it comes on really abruptly. Some of that has to do with the forced induction and some of it as to do with the nature of the motor. either way, you’re right.... it’s tough to get power to the ground unless you have a nice dry road.

You can go under the truck if you’re planning on doing a mega watt system requiring multiple cables, but like Apicella said... Judy run it through the firewall and under the door sills to the back.

Power only takes you so far if the drivability isn’t there.

Truth be told it was 447 I think. When it’s all done I’ll have the dyno graphs. All will be revealed in time. :-)

Full disclosure. I have a similar build going. It started end of October. I should have results in the next week. stage 4 CR turbos CR port matched exhaust manifolds Kooks downpipes AMS turbo adapters AMS intake tubes AFE CAI Whipple Intercooler Custom Dyno tune I’m doing it with stock...

This is becoming spam. This isn’t a Ford GT forum.

Pedal commander is an illusion. It just shortens the throw of your throttle. Like going with a quarter twist on your Motorcyle... I can get you a pedal commander for free. Slam your foot to the floor and it’ll do the same thing.

Half the exhausts in that list aren’t even for the Raptor.

Ok. kooks green catted downpipes will also pass emissions and both should have o2 extenders to be safe. Neither will give you any noticeable horsepower with stock turbos. catback exhaust gives minuscule amounts of horsepower. CAI gives no power either with stock turbos. Turbo adapters will...

This is why you should let other people park your cars.

Too much of a headache to deal with ethanol on a daily driver. I’m all about big horsepower on 93 octane. big turbos are where the money is!

I ran the touring one for a long time. I’m chucking it in this current build. you might be happier with a set of green catted downpipes and stock exhaust. otherwise if you must pick one... do the touring.... it’s the loudest you’d want for a neighborhood.

Me too. I pulled it off pretty quick. I’m looking forward to going back. The catback, CAI and intercooler did make a little more than stock on the dyno on a stock tune. To the magnitude of about 20 RWHP.
