I was quoted around $26500 for everything.

GGEEEEZZZUSSS$$$$!..I guess i need to be super nice to the sugar momma for that upgrade.......I am waiting on livernois to reply back with there Turbo and S/C that they will offer...The only thing so far that might pull me back from the Stroker is if they do the Forged rods n piston with one of them...Currently they only offer the Forged upgrade with the stroker option....but the modular piston and rods are going to be sold by themselves in about 3 to 4 months......BTW There Turbo option will run about 12-14K......

First off my info is coming from a N.Y. office that works directly with Military overseas sales and the factory...I only speak of what i hear from them and I won't know for sure until about the end of MAY...Military over seas will have the there Raptor's made in June not 24 OCT for dealers.... I was told that they wont confirm anything but Ford was speaking of a possible partnership with Rousch or whipple....I would guess Rousch but they have been on the 302 pretty hard....Another reason is many folks have been asking for a blower option...I have a 2012 supercrew on order now and am awaiting the e-mail from the factory or rep to discuss the exact setup i want since nothing is released from Ford yet....

Good luck with that, I talked to Overseas in Jbad, AFG last month and they said that Mil Overseas isn't even allocated SVT Vehicles... I emailed the heads that i dealed with my last deployment when I ordered a Mustang GT through them and they told me the exact same thing... sooo ya... interesting, where are you deployed at right now?

I have a Procharger and have been told not to push it above 650 hp mine makes 520 rwhp and to be quite honest its a handful the way it is now.
