Maybe 511 HP? Does that change your feeling.

I agree, its pretty hard to do burnouts with bug meats like that

I'm not a real big Ecoboost fan, but a 2.7 turning 37's like that, if he was off the brake, is pretty impressive. What are your plans as far as tuning and modding the motor? Why did you choose the 2.7 over the 3.5? Do you plan on doing anything with the gearing? Sorry for the questions, just curious.....

2.7 is a newer design then the 3.5 . They worked out some of the bugs and issues that they had with the 3.5 . Its 325 hp and 390 tq factory . Not a bad little motor . Going to be looking at what tunes work the best . Going to be installing a Injen intake on the truck . For the time being the gears will stay stock . We ordered some fiberglass and a few other things for it . Electric cut out is on the list also

I'm just impressed you were able to stuff 37"s under it. What suspension mods?

if you took the turbos of it would it still even spin the tires?

I think the new one looks good, not great but good. I definitely am going to want a new one, but I just don't want the v6! All of these feelings proved to be true last week when I got to see the new one in person at the auto show. I remember when I saw the gen1 at the same auto show, I stared for like an hour. My want level was through the roof. Did not get the same feeling from the new one.

Then I was reminded why I don't want the v6 leaving the show. I was on the 5th story of a packed parking garage. I have headers and Corsa on my big bad V8!! There was a guy in a srt8 challenger with pipes 3 cars up. We had so much fun leaving setting off car alarms. It must have sounded like thunder from a mile away. The whole ride home all I could think about was how I love how my truck sounds, not how much I liked the new one.

Exactly! They don't get us though and I certainly don't get them. The Raptor needs a thundering v8. So much fun off-road blasting through the desert at speed hearing your beast roar! Or like you said, maybe a parking garage or the occasional tunnel! Even if I could get by the v6 and looks of the gen2, how will those turbos hold up in the dusty environment long term?

Really Brian? lol 2.7 V6 bone stock with 3:55 gears and 4 new KR2's in the bed ... lol pretty impressive to me .

I was busting balls. I like the 2.7. I think that's more impressive than the 3.5 [emoji1591][emoji1591][emoji1591]

Is that F150 going to be around next weekend? I'd like to see the super secret suspension mods. I think the 5.0 needs some 37's [emoji12]

From Road&Track:

Calling the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that's destined for the new Ford GT and second-generation Raptor pickup a high-output version is a bit disingenuous. Ford basically wiped the slate clean to make it, retaining only the displacement measurement—and, you know, the fact it has six cylinders in a vee configuration fed by turbochargers and direct injection.

It starts with a new block, heads, pistons, and intake, plus bigger turbos. Ford adds a dual-injection system, a combination of port and direct fuel injection, like Subaru uses on the BRZ/FR-S motor. That makes the H.O. 3.5 the first and only EcoBoost engine to use port injection. Ford calls this a second-generation EcoBoost, so maybe that dual-injection scheme will spread to other engines.

That's similar to the article i was talking about. Guys who follow the ecoboost scene for guys really pushing them to the limits know the injectors are the limiting factor for power, and many really pushing the limits add secondary fuel injection on a stand-alone to add to the direct injection. The fact that Ford is doing dual injection with manifold port and direct injection is a big hint that they're going to make some serious #'s out of the new 3.5 ecoboost
