This all-new twin-turbo, intercooled
DOHC 24-valve high-output 3.5L
EcoBoost with direct fuel injection is
even more powerful than the previous
6.2L V8. On 2017 F-150 models, the
new 2nd-gen. 3.5L EcoBoost will have
a best-in-class 470 lb.-ft. of torque.
For the high-output 3.5L on RAPTOR,
that number will go much higher.
The way the brochure emphasizes torque on the standard 3.5 EcoBoost and that the Raptor will have a much higher Torque leads me to believe the HP will not be significantly higher than the Gen 1.
The standard 3.5 EB went from 365/420 to 375/470. The Gen 1's 3.5 EB's Torque was 13.1% more than than it's HP. The Gen 2's 3.5 EBTorque is 20.21% more than it's HP. This leads me to believe that if the Gen 2 Raptors HP is going to be just slightly more than the Gen 1 Raptor and remain somewhat proportional to the standard 3.5 then we could be looking at around 430/540. That would make the torque 20.37% higher than the HP.
Numbers roughly like this would also coincide with what Levine and Ford has been saying. They've been saying that the HP will be more than the Gen 1 but they haven't been saying that it will be significantly more and in my opinion they haven't sounded too confident about the HP. The brochure says the torque will go much higher than 470 and I would interpret that as more than 30 but less than 90 more.
What's your guess?
I swear someone at Ford sort of confirmed that HP was 450ish, but if TQ is 20% higher than HP, that would put it at 540 which seems higher than I would have guessed. But I guess that's possible since they are talking it up as "much higher" all the time. So that would be 450/540 with a 20% increase right? I think your numbers are a 26% increase (430/540).
