Did Anyone else get a call from SVT or was it just me?

This thing is going to be sick!!!

More people should do this!

p.s.... my Stock front fenders are available and all 4 stock shocks and UCA's. Just sayin'.

Well it's not a customers truck it's mine. I started with an ext cab ecoboost and what I have now is a Ecoboost powered raptor w/ the correct wheel base minus the Raptor offroad mode. Here are some of the current specs-


35" Generals
4.88 Gears


Well I was going to ask, but seems it would not be such a fair race. Stock Raptor 6.2 with 35" tires and 4.10 gears.
Race anyhow and let us know how EB does ?

Frickin awesome. I would've done an Ecoboost if it'd been an option. I love V8s but a turbo direct-injection motor would be damn interesting to me. Wish they'd made it straight-6 though.

 

[Reptar]

what difference would straight 6 make? It'd share about as much in common with the old pushrod straight 6 as the new modular 5.0 shares with the pushrod 5.0....pretty much nothing.

V8 = Raptor is a mans truck. Ford could always do a pink V6 for the ladys

I'm allllllll about the earthquake inducing sound of my 6.2's exhaust but, with the near equal performance the EB makes compared to a 6.2 and the weight savings over the front end, I could deal with the sound of the EB. Not too mention what some tuning would do afterwards.

Can't wait till Ford invents an Ecoboost 6.2 V8 - then many of us would be itching to get one

Not enough to justify it I'm sure. They're smooth (perfectly primary+second balance without shafts). But I'm sure the packaging of a V6 and ability to put it in multiple platforms make this a moot point.

ECO boost a V8 and now we are talking. BMW with their 4.4L twins make 555 HP and 500 tq. While still getting 12/17 mpgs. The XM5 weights 5400lbs and does 4.5 sec 0-60. I know they can get "tuned" at the dealership for a little extra without any warranty issues.

Nothing wrong with this set up at all, but if ford is going to put a turbo'd motor in a raptor..... GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!

Those 4.88's are going to make this a very quick truck.
