Gen 1 still gets its ass beat... [emoji196]️
The Gen 2 has a twin turbo, of course it beats the Gen 1. Now put that Gen 2 up against a supercharged Gen 1 and watch what happens.

Now put that Gen 1 supercharged up against a tuned, full bolt-on Gen 2 &..... well, it gets its ass beat yet again lol. Apples to Apples is stock vs stock or FBO VS FBO... not a blower vs stock lol.
I could literally say “That Gen 1 has a 6.2L & the Gen 2 has a 3.5L” to argue your point of the Gen 2 having a twin turbo lol... So you gonna add another 2.9L on top of the 6.2L to compete with the lil ole 3.5L twin turbo? [emoji196]

Again, who knows what Procharger kit and Tune the Gen 1 has.
But I'm liking this truck even though it's not a raptor and he's running E85

That’s like saying put a 3.5L NA motor in a raptor against a 6.2L NA motor. Just lame and would be a pathetic race.
Of course the forced induction is going to have an advantage. Look at the performance numbers before tunes or anything is upgraded.
In the end they’re two completely different trucks (Gen1 vs Gen2). Don’t like it, but a Chevy.

Which then goes to my apples to apples argument. A supercharger isn’t considered an FBO mod; therefore it still isn’t apples to apples. The Gen 2 is tuned with basic bolt-ons...So a fair comparison would be a tune, cai, exhaust vs. the same. Even with a SC vs FBO argument, the Gen 2 still wins though. [emoji196]
️People forget that weight plays a role (Gen 2 is lighter) as well as the transmission, etc. ... Stop trying to make the Gen 1 more than what it is. It’s an archaic 2V SOHC engine... the Gen 2 literally is better than the Gen 1 in every category minus the “sound” department. I had both. I had a supercharged 6.2L. Calm down with your outdated toys.

No, it’s saying put stock vs stock. Not “now put a supercharger on the 6.2L & leave the Gen 2 completely stock.” lol A tuned FBO Gen 2 still beats a supercharged 6.2L (refer to video posted), which y’all consider the even playing field sooo.. again, what’s y’alls point? Gen 2 > Gen 1 still unless of course you deem a fully stock Gen 2 vs a supercharged 6.2L is a fair comparison. Stock for stock is literally the fairest comparison for any two vehicles... if you deem it unfair somehow, that means the other vehicle is obviously better. If one uses better components, better design, etc... IT COMES THAT WAY STOCK. Anybody can LS Swap a fox body & beat a supercar... that’s not apples to apples. If your buddy has a stroked out 6.6L Gen 1 from Livernois with a Whipple.. I’m sure it’ll spank most, if not any, Gen 2... we’re obviously talking typical modification routes taken here though.
Plus, comparing an engine designed with the intention of being boosted (3.5L = lower compression) & one designed with the intention of being NA (6.2L = higher compression) by making both NA is just heinous.... well, let’s run the 6.2L without 2 cylinders then to even the playing fields. [emoji854]

I wish to hell someone would finally put 10 speed in a Gen 1
