    New Hood

    I was thinking about just a simple modification to the stock hood, by removing the hood vents covers, and cutting the factory holes out to almost full size instead of the small vents in the hood, and then replacing the factory vent covers. just to allow more air for better cooling and allow the...

    I just got don't doing the rear, and front suspension mod (step 1 for me). I know I might seem bias but RPG was awesome, and I took all ther recommendation, and hit all the dirt roads by my house and it handled like a dream! Stage 3 in the rear and mid perch in the front is amazing!

    Rim ideas???

    Thanks for all of the rim ideas from everyone, and i have had my eye on the ones from RPG, mainly because they have a nice look, should't breach the fender wells by too much, and the matched color would always be nice, because then you can get your rig to have the look you have banging around in...

    Rim ideas???

    Yeah, I guess your right... My concern wasn't just airing down for rocks, the raptor break-over angle is really bad anyway. I was more concerned with wheel slip after the engine is fully mod out with cam and supercharger. Has anyone who has fully done their power train and experienced rim...

    Rear Ford Oval

    Honestly I just fine sand papered my rear emblem, cleaned it with alcohol, taped it off, and used a can of the spray bed liner, that had a nice matte finish... Now I have been using canned paint for a while, and I'm not to shabby with it, so I can paint a pretty even coat. But I totally...

    Rim ideas???

    I honestly prefer a 17" rim, mainly because they provide a lot more tire, and I don't care for the 20+ size rims, I prefer the side-bite avail on the tires... I am curious how much depth of a rim would be ok for a raptor... Suspension and handling wise. I am mainly looking for a nice matte...

    Raptor XT Cams!!!

    Ok, long and short of those cams are, they were in fact 1425 for the pair, but I spoke with the people at ford racing and they said that the stock pistons could be cut to make the clearance, so I followed it up with a call to livernois, because of me just being burnt but ford racing, and my...

    Raptor XT Cams!!!

    Well it seems since Ford is no lover planning on building the Raptor XT, that Ford Racing is now selling the 15 Cam sets they had produced!!! The problem is that they have no intentions of producing any more, as per my phone conversation with a Ford Racing Rep today. So I hurried, and called...

    iTSX vs X3 tune from 5star

    The 60 count is supposed to be in Feet, the 1/4 track run in my photo album was on regular pump gas, and the iTSX was after the original custom tune was tweaked and pushed to 93 octane only. it's really not too far off, and i have found for a 1/4 mi run 4 high ran a little better, not a huge...

    iTSX vs X3 tune from 5star

    I also had an issue when it was first released, where i was unable to get it to tune the Raptor, after a few phone calls and being talked through by SCT, they explained how to do a "hard reset" to the device, and everything was great minus the performance test. Roughly a week ago there was a...

    Photo Album of my Raptor

    I am a do it myself kind guy, the only thing I will pay others for is when I re-gear the truck to a 4.56... But just a heads up, by no account were the headers an easy task; the driver’s side is fairly simple, but the passenger side required the engine to be lifted, but top to bottom it took 2...

    iTSX vs X3 tune from 5star

    The iTSX has about 30 different gauges that can be monitored, you can only monitor one at a time on and iPhone, but about seven I think on the iPad, some I feel are foolish, but some useful, like the amount of air passing through the mass air flow. Additionally if you prefer a custom tune...

    Photo Album of my Raptor

    i used Rust-Oleum (Lens Tint) -Custom Shop- Rust-Oleum (Acrylic Enamel) -Crystal Clear- just a heads up, be patient, light coats and allow the coats to dry completely before applying another coat. Also make 100% sure the tint is fully dry before you clear it, because the clear will cause the...
