Has anyone done this yet on the R? Just got mine and wondering if this would improve top end.

Ford used a smaller pulley for R than GT500, hopefully you took that into account. I would personally also have the tune customized at the same time.

Ahh I thought was other way around. Anyone have any idea of best mods

On a 6000 lb truck why would you want bunch less low end power? GT500 pulley would most likely make it slower.

R got smaller pulley for more low end torque and a lower redline that accounts for the lower top end power numbers. All parts being equal, seems just a tune should get you somewhere in the neighborhood of a tuned GT500. But I’m a lowly Gen 2 owner speculating off what was published.

Seems like Whipple supercharger upgrade, tune and intercooler is the easiest way to beef it up. Should get around 820 rwhp when available.

Any idea what the Whipple kit is gonna cost?

A whipple for tge 7.3 Godzilla is $9,250, so maybe around there, but that includes IC brick, throttle body, fuel rails, injectors, and a tune.

Whipple for Godzilla.. or for the R.. will new internals be required or a trans upgrade??

PPF, tint, cat back when available, and maybe some fog lights and I'm DONE...
