More Ecoboost Ford Raptor evidence for 2013?

They need some direct injection for the 6.2...

Direct Injection is available on the GM truck engines for 2014 and has actually been available in Ford trucks for years, as long as you bought a diesel. Port injection is so advanced today that DI is only a slight advantage. The potential dangers of extremely high fuel pressures added to the expense of the hardware and software required for DI have kept it out of most trucks prior to 2014. GM adopted DI to offset the inherent disadvantages associated with their OHV V-8 architecture compared to Ford's OHC design. With that said, DI is is probably inevitable due to more exact fuel tuning requirements necessary to meet the escalating EPA regulations on the horizon.

I can't wait until the 6.2L is on the same playing field as the 5.8L, that engine was horrible when it first came out (the original iteration of it back in the 90s), look at it now, top v-8 on the planet and the only engine over 600 horsepower that avoids the gas guzzler tax, despite European manufacturers' claims to being "advanced", the 6.2 can already get 17-18 easily if you drove it like you'd drive an ecoboost to get mpg, not long and the 6.2L will get 22-25 just as easily

Even in a raptor

The 5.8 from the 90s has absolutely nothing to do with the 5.8 in the 2013+ shelby other than the coincidence the number is the same. The 5.8 is simply a larger bore 5.4....not an engine from the 90s they dug out of the back closet and put into the New shelby.

I know it was designed from the 5.4, which has been around since the 90s, originally producing only 230 horsepower, guess what, I know what I'm talking about, no, they didn't pull it directly out of the 90s, the old 5.8L was a completely different engine, but the 5.4L has slowly evolved over 16 years to become the monster it is today, the 6.2L can make the same evolution, it's a very basic engine in comparison to the 5.8L of today
