Looking at Raptor R .

[New recaros]

Ford rates both at 640

 

[EricM]

They have to get the power certified in a SAE test, so the peak numbers for each year are legit.

 

[StuartR]

Yes they are at peak torque, that is different than peak power

 

[New recaros]

2024 is 640@4300 rpm
2023 is 640@4250 rpm

 

[New recaros]

2024 720 hp @6650 rom
2023 700 hp @6650 rpm

PR move

Ford gave the 24;s a 20HP bump. Seems like some 23 owners don’t believe it.

Probably right but he peaked my interest; anyone actually do the work to see if they really is a different (I’m sure there is) and what that difference actually does in a straight up race. Probably not even a 1/10th in the 1/4

Agreed, there’s nothing different about the 25’ other than the following:

Adds:
1. Orange rear tow hooks
2. Price Increase

Deletes:
2. Door Keypad (This can be added for an additional cost now at the dealer)

There's a few more things you're missing and I don't think they have the orange rear tow hooks but you have the Ford key fob in the Ford running boards instead of the ones that say raptor

 

[nelsonr103]

It's a tie in a race and no difference on the dyno sir. Currently have mine and a 24 in the shop for tuning(getting the speed limiter off) Do you own one?

To each his own but that removes your warranty and that motor is 32k

 

[cr23raptor1983]

You can laugh all you wan

To each his own but that removes your warranty and that motor is 32k

It's all good. Not worried about it fortunately

 

[EricM]

It's just a mod motor with a blower. Ford's been doing this for 25+ years now.

No need to go all "$32K !!!!" on it.

The crank, block and heads are the only parts that can't be easily replaced with even better parts- and all of those parts are available for low prices since the engine is still in production.

There is power to be had at WOT with a tune only, but you need to pulley the blower and tune it to get good part thottle gains. You gotta get the blower going faster to make major gains in power on these engines.
