Hey everyone I am starting this thread as a chronicle of my up coming build. I will show the different phases of my truck build, show the up and downs and share lessons learned to hopefully help other. I would also love to get feedback, opinions and advice from experienced owners. So my journey started last year I purchased my 2013 Black Screw. I loved it was a great truck had no issues only smiles with it. I began to build up a bunch of parts to upgrade various areas of the truck. I was about to get things started but I began to see many raptors popping up in my are that were exact matches to my truck. Being that I wanted something totally original and rare I decided to sell my truck and order a 2014 Ruby Red Metallic Screw.

Having sold my exist truck with 36k miles to carmax for 44k all that is left to do is wait. Hopefully I will be taking delivery hopefully in the next two weeks.


So My goal: Twin turbo Raptor with twin turbos with a target of 700 whp.


So back to the Mods I plan to do

Phase 1 (parts on order and waiting for delivery)

-Hellion Twin Ball Bearing Turbos (ordered)
-MMR 6.2 Fully Built forged short block
-Trans and Drive-train upgrades (this I am not sure of the extent I will have to got to to support the numbers feel free to chime in if you have recomendations

Phase 2 (parts I currently have)

-38' Toyo tires
-20" Trail Ready Hd Beadlock Wheels
-Fabtech 4" lift (not sure if I will be going this route looking at other alternatives
-Glassworks Unlimited +4.5" flare and +2" rise front fenders and bedsides

Phase 3 Tbd give me some ideas

Please don't do the lift...lol
If your wanting to change the suspension go with an upgrade like rpg stage 4+ or maybe a camburg long travel

And I second Bulletnjm's comment. You are definitely going to want to spend some money on one hell of a driveshaft

rear leaf springs will be a must with that much power. i would get some HD progressive springs to help with wheel hop and it will ride so much better.

why not do the 6.6L stroker?
