    Future build on 2012, need input and ideas..... - Ford Raptor

    Well, until you feel the power of 600HP (flywheel or rwhp), it's kind of hard to understand the differences....Also it is not just about how fast you go but how fast you can get there is a big part of it too...not sure about anyone else here but i think it is kind of nice to be able to light up...

    Funny you would say the Livernois 400CI Stroker....I am already talking to them about that possible setup...Man i thought i might be one of the few if i did do it...BTW..What are the $ looking like for the whole setup and install up at there Michigan HQ? Never that the HP would be that...

    Future build on 2012, need input and ideas..... - Ford Raptor

    True on the not that fast compared to the lighting but it will be some what of a sleeper on the road and you can always use more power but i understand ur point on too much, i think this truck would be about max usable HP at 600 at the flywheel granted the driving skills are there....As far as...

    Future build on 2012, need input and ideas..... - Ford Raptor

    Hmmm...There is no limit on power but i have driven this truck and it needs a few more pony's IMO...Yes i was thinking after the 600HP i would consider it to be a S/C 6k lb Sport, off road, climb and jump over all that other Cr*p truck with 35" treads to make it the right one for any person in...

    How strong are the stock rods and pistons...???? - Raptor 6.2

    Is that with stock pistons and rods or a warranty from Hennessey besides the 1 Year / 12,000 Mile Limited Warranty? BTW what did they charge you for install and how long was the wait for install?

    How strong are the stock rods and pistons...???? - Raptor 6.2

    Thanx for the great info but still undecided.....Sure would hate to put that procharger on it and see a rod give in....Also 6-7K is a lot for the install alone....

    How strong are the stock rods and pistons...???? - Raptor 6.2

    Looking for how much HP do you really think the stock Powdered rods n pistons can handle??? I am sure they will hold the Procharger setup but the question is for how long... Do any of you have the Procharger setup with stock guts? Just looking at the pros and cons and some feed back...

    This is true but at the same time since it was ordered with all options and came with the can't charge you more than 1700 if 2012 cost more guaranteeing you the price, all that is left to worry about is the actual production date..Hmmm..I will call ENCS bluff on this...I will get the number from...

    Yes, those are the 2 things i want but i still don't trust the powdered rods and the pistons..They work great for current setup but forged is what i need...You say too expensive...I'm sure your'e right but i have a little room to negotiate with but trying to stay there...I guess i just need the...
