What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[GooseTuned]

Little late, but this week I had the pleasure of re-tuning w/ the illustrious Winfield of @GooseTuned fame.

Kinda bummed to be ditching spicy NC 93 octane w/stage 2 but Winfield was able to claw back some of that power on yucky CAN 91

Truck runs great and still pulls harder than Bay Area traffic can handle so I'll take it but E50 looking mighty fine right about now, might slide into those DM's soon....

Also I moved so feel free to have a LOL at my current parking situation

E50 will blow both of those fuels out of the water! It'll make 93oct feel like 91ACN

@GooseTuned DM coming.

Installing Alcons up front - really didn't want to have to need new tie rods, but I do...

Glad we could get you setup! They turned out awesome!

Are the Alcons a larger diameter rotor then OEM? I would definitely go with them when it’s time for new brakes assuming they would fit with my stock 17’s

Yes, they will fit stock 17" wheels. If you have the beadlock style wheels, you will need to run the included 7mm billet wheel spacer for clearance. These brakes are an absolutely MASSIVE improvement over stock. Prices are going up on August 1st, so if anyone is interested, please reach out to us to grab a set!

I only did fronts, it’s all you really need and i have manual reap park brake so i could do rears.

Sorry to hear that you had to downgrade to 91, is E50 readily available there?

It's around, at least enough to make the switch viable in the future!

Unfortunately, no. They're too scared to touch the rears because the EPB is tied into the ABS system. However, there is a rear upgrade kit available with new rear pads and matching rotors. You will still have the OEM silver caliper though.

BTW @Nick@Apollo-Optics the brakes are fantastic! Just had the truck aligned and she is driving better than ever! Thanks for the super quick shipping on everything too!

And one thing I noticed since installing the new tie rods - one would think tie rods are tie rods, and maybe this is all in my head but the steering feels tighter and crisper if that is possible in an almost 3 ton truck?
