Thanks for the write up, I'm literally in the same boat. Would love a GEN2, can't "afford" one. Want to add some power to my 6.2, but what path do I choose?
My first instinct was to bite the bullet and just bring the truck to BBR, let them order/install/tune and be 100% accountable for the job, but I'm in Buffalo... not a smart choice having "my shop" 20 hours away.
I've seriously considered building my own kit, for a fraction of the price, and having a local tuner handle it.
Not sure if you ever saw it, but Hellion has a video on YouTube of a non-Raptor 6.2 on 12lbs and it made 743rwhp. Won't make that power for long, but that was a damn good glory pull.
Would love to see some videos.
