GEN 2 Raptor power/torque release

[RAPTERRIER]

I think in a way they have told us the HP number. If you look at the ford official brochure it lists the new std ecoboost torque as 470 and the high output one will go much higher. In the weight saving section it says they shed nearly 500lbs increasing power to weight ration by over 16%.....

So if our current 6200lb screw has 411hp then the power to weight ratio is .066hp/lb. A 16% increase gives us almost .077hp/lb. At 500lb savings we get a 5700lb screw. So HP for the new ecoboost would be right around 438 ponies.

I could be wrong but they gave us that info just not the numbers.

That above is the best educated guess I've yet seen. I wouldn't be surprised if you nailed it...

I initially thought that too but with 411hp at 6200 is .066hp/lb. 411hp at 5700lb is a ratio of .072. This is only an increase of 10.9%.

Factor that with the brochure says:
"Paired with Ecoboost engine technology improves power to weight ratio by over 16%"

So I'm assuming they mean with the engine And weight savings. Certainly not gonna complain if they wanna go higher with the HP.

So .066 times 1.16 is .0769. .0769 HP per lb at 5700lbs is 438.311

Yep. Even better, in my opinion, is the same math applied to the torque number. That comes in over 500. Of course, these are speculative equations based upon the little hints we've been given. However, these equations put the numbers almost exactly what I predicted (450 hp/ 500 tq).

Either way, she'll be a blast to drive!

Jk, I appreciate you geeky fokkers and your algo-human thinking

Lol! Thankee... I think.

I always say... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a series of equations and algorithms.

Catchy, eh? Lol!

lol, I caught my mistake right before you posted. I need a calculator with bigger buttons - I must be getting old.

That's ok after doing the calculations I realized if I lost 30lbs and got to the gym a bit more I may be a little quicker off the line too.

As would your Raptor!! [emoji3]
