Just wanted to say hey to all the fellow Raptor owners! I finally picked me up a 2014! Gotta say, I'm very glad I traded in my 2013 FX4 for this beast!! Any Raptor runs in my area let me know!! Oh and I'll be racing my Raptor at the "Wanna Go Fast" event in GA September 12 & 13 ! Can't wait to see what this thing is gonna do at a 1/2 mile!!

If it's stock there's no point in running it in a 1/2 mile shootout. You'll be bumping into the speed limiter, which is there because of the speed rating on the tires and also because the OEM driveshaft isn't the best.

I already have a tuner, exhaust, and better CAI on the way, so I should be good with the speed limiter, but what's bad with the driveshaft? Anything I can do to make it stronger?

The OEM shaft is fairly weak and not always balanced as well is it could be. Probably won't be an issue at your power level (basically stock) but since you're going to be running at high speeds, you might want to consider upgrading it.
