when modding a big V8 like the supercharged LT4 the E85 and tuning total of about 1400 bucks you can gain 80 extra HP. no clue what will happen to a lil V6 with turbos I am not that smart but if it was the same damn that would be a huge plus for me.
MY side note just to stir the pot there...
that's a good point the technology and fit and finish in my wife's explorer blow my raptor away hers is the Platinum but damn its funny how 3 years they made such improvements.
I don't think they made 20K improvements and "think" they raised the price due to the demand and following the gen 1s...
I have no idea if you have stage 2 and go to stage 3 cost. I was just repeating what other wrote here,
I DO know if you are just buying brand new today it cost $300 extra some say $200 but JDM quoted me $300. saying that all of his prices were high so maybe it is $200 that part I'm not sure of...
Oh yes I now understand what your saying about the belt. I’ve had the not move before if slamming on brakes and just the other day my buddy has new CTSV the belt actually tightened up and pulled me in seat after he launched. Crazy technology these cars/trucks have.
Glad everyone is ok and the...
passenger seat belt blew? sorry for probably asking a dumb question but what does that mean?
hope the air bag didn't smash your face? I never had a bag blow but people "say" it like hitting a brick wall with your face?
I agree with everything you said other than people willing to pay for them. my dealer here in Cali where everyone has money to burn and they have 6 Raptors on the lot right now. it is a small dealership satellite station at that.
the 6.2 was no where to be found anywhere in 2013-2014 I didn't...
I think that is if you buy brand new. if you already have SC and upgrade I think that is where these prices are coming from? but I didn't ask JDM just said plus 300 on new one from him.
yup as I posted it was a baby cam. I started in one direction and turned to another in the middle of the build kind of messed up as I started wanting more power. it was gonna get deeper and deeper in my pocket so I called it and sold the motor to a guy who was happy with the power and build. I...
yea that's why I mentioned it was easy my car is 1962 impala there is nothing to worrie about not even an airbag. for a DD truck it just wont be easy or even possible. but a race truck or weekend toy that would be pretty cool.
I do not plan on messing with the motor at all in truck other than...
yea that's a tough one for me I don't have enough knowledge in the raptor motor at all. I have headers CAI and tune as I always thought I would get the new gen 2. but honestly for 75K and even more I will never buy the new raptor and like my outside looks better anyways. so now I am diving into...
thanks for the input I don't have the gen2 I have 2014 Raptor and the BDS system looks perfect for me. I just looked thru the intrewebs for about 2 hours and this recoil kit will work on raptors upto 2017 no one prob has it on 2018 yet but I seen it with pictures on my truck. I am going to...
yes that's sounds great in theory but there has to be a reason no one is installing cams on these?
whipple just made a gen 3 for their super charger more HP less heat and I just heard Roush is releasing a 2600 so they are keeping up with whipple.
IMO the 10K for 200HP is the best bang for the...
Oh hell who’s getting this done in 2 weeks?
I was talking with JDM about new timing for this and he said no new timing needed and will do the upgrade in about 2 weeks.
I assume (I do that to much) it’s one of you regulars here?
I’ll be waiting to see results and gonna order the kit this weeks...
Of coarse I have no clue but cams and heads on my LS3 was 60hp I had baby cam also.
I’m gonna assume the same on our trucks.
Trick flow heads - cam with all the BS and install was 4K. Prob gonna be close to the same maybe more install time but I’m only guessing
Yikes 4K for 30HP your giving me flash back of AMG HP prices. I just emailed with JDM its only $300 upgrade if buying new. that's a no brainer lower temps is worth the $300 and 30 extra HP is a bonus.
I was just checking in here before I ordered the Roush phase 2 and seen this now I have to go...
2011-2014 6.2L Ford F-150 Supercharger ROUSH R2300 Phase 2 Kit - 590 HP
Im going with this one I have ARH already. I will also get tune from 5 star most likely. I have not bought yet. but gonna happen real soon I just went to my dealer and the new raptor was 100K lmao its a truck. do you know...
I read that same post. 8-10 hours is a long damn time I should of became a ford mechanic to bad I have zero patients and would brake more stuff than I could fix,lol
Im done with it I will wait for 2018
just started my research on whipple or Roush. Roush seems more for me more TQ and lower RPM I am not going 150 in this thing so im leaning that way but my research is not done yet either.
although I have the limited edition interior that's looks perfect I...
Ya I'm not doing heads cams nothing else maybe pully but I'll do that right from the start. Stage 2 prob already has better pully?
What was cost and where did you get yours if you don't mind?
Sucks as I just did heads cams ect ect on my LS3 equipped impala I would of went SC on raptor first...
I don't feel bad! They are not getting ripped off they know what they are paying and agree to it. I just can't do it not sure why? But one thing for sure is the 5k more or less they pay will not change their lives one bit so in the end who cares long as they are happy.
Saying that I do...
since I refuse to pay over MSRP on the 2017 TT raptor I am going to SC my 2014. something I didn't want to do before as that 10K could be used to buy 2017.
well here I am looking now. a few things I don't quite get maybe someone can help me out.
Roush has lower end power more TQ cost a few...
