How do I make this thing go faster?

[EmbDriver]

I'm saying here is a video of my gen2 with an intake, completely stock exhaust, @team jdm tune, and a small intercooler getting jumped out of the hole by a gen 1 6.2 raptor with a whipple blower, and then after traction and reaction time are no longer a factor, I reel him in and pass him for the win.

He was a very nice guy amd we were both actually knocked out of double elimination and set this up at intermission.

To those that say the whipple stock tune sucks, the sun was in his eyes, etc. , I say let me get downpipes and a dyno tune and lets run em again.

That was a procharged truck sir

Re-gear it.

Give yourself way more mechanical advantage to the point of being able to break loose the tires in 4x4 and higher gears. You’ll easily be faster off the line and to 100mph than non re-geared trucks.

The trade off is obviously top speed and fuel consumption.

jesus its got 4.10s what you supposed to do swap em for 4.56? 4.88s LOL - typically speaking the gears in that range are built for hardcore shit, way overbuilt for the stock power of a Raptor & probably big $$$ + you'd need to adjust tune/tranny etc. to compensate.....AND unless you wanna go to 2WD you're talking front & rear & I don't see that working out well w/ the bespoke transfer case in the Raptor.

How bout some 5.29's hahahhahhaha

procharger is weak compared to whipple

Pro chargers have no low end torque advantage

Having a hard time finding my original thread, but you may be right.


still...

550 RWHP on pump gas, sea level, turning 35" tires in 7th gear - (1 to 1 ratio) I don't think is going to happen. At least I haven't seen a chart.
Most shops do pulls in 3rd or 4th gear because of the liability - Speed rating of the 35" tires under load. They don't want the tires to blow out at higher speeds.
If you have a dyne chart, please post - I hope you can prove me wrong.

OP - You own a 5500 + Lbs truck - probably a lot more. It isn't going to be fast even with 700 RWPH but it will get you to where you need to go within reason and in comfort.
I guess ones perspective of fast is different from someone else. LOL

I'm sorry I do not have a chart from the Dyno, the dyno charts are off the cobb website. It's the STAGE 2 SILVER package. I am running 91 Fuel the intercooler is freaking massive. Talking to cobb and using the combined kit these are their numbers. I will tell you that this thing is a beast Literally smokes the tires in first and second and the A/C was on!! incredible for such a big truck with 35 inch tire, it's jaw-dropping really! I cant wait to see how it operates in 50 degree weather : )

im sure this thread will get some more traffic once the trx comes out with its official hp numbers, gonna hurt some feelings lol

It’s been stated many times before, you have FOUR more tranny gears, which makes a BIG difference in how you are able to make up ground.

I have owned both Gens and like both. But it is comparing apples to oranges because the two trucks have two total different takes on powertrain engineering.

I doubt it. With a FMIC and tune, you can do 0-60 in 4.6ish sec on a Gen 2. I don’t see how much better a TRX can do even with 700 HP. A 700 HP Gen 1 can hit 0-60 just under 5 secs. The TRX will likely still have the 8-speed. At some point, the power numbers are irrelevant because of physics. On a 35” tire, you lose a significant amount of power at the wheels.

Yeah, TOTALLY different because of 4 extra gears when I think I made it to third and he made it to second, and you lose 0.1 sec per shift in a drag race.... But keep the excuses coming, I love it.


The only point I am trying to make is that Ford didn't "ruin" the Raptor by going from a V8 to a TTV6.
