You just need to find the right preacher.

The marriage will take some time, it will not be a cheap cerimony and you still won't happy because to can only get 1000 hp.

Now let this ******* dead topic die, it's wasting bandwidth.

From an engineering perspective, the V6TT really is the ideal solution from a power/weight/efficiency/cost standpoint. If someone is nostalgic for a V8, no doubt RAM will be selling 20th century designs for another couple of decades.

it depends on your engineering budget i guess?


they are selling an advertised dirt monster. no one on the planet thinks we are being easy footed with them on or offroad. the advertised HP and TQ numbers are getting really intense, i am sure they can make a design that not far off from its current goals with same efficiency

i dont even want a 5.2 hahah. they could have just as easily left a bone stock 5.0 in it for all the cheap asses. then ill SC it lolololol.

holy shit, its got 400HP and 400TQ from the get go??? daaaamn i dont need any more power than that for a while. lemme learn how to drive the thing hahaha.


or put a baby turbo on it ha. just a lil one and set the boost at like 2lbs max. that will save gas. WINK.

If they did offer a v8, I probably would have gotten it and whippled it after I did my suspension.

The revised 2018 5.0 has 460 HP and 420 ft-lbs. That's an easy 700+ at the crank with a blower.

at that point you honestly dont need anything else. the trucks are not under powered at all. once the warranty dries up, slap a turbski on it.

Actually, the Mustang is making well over 900 at the crank, and the F150 over 800.

It really is a travesty that Ford doesn't offer a 5.0 in the Gen 2 Raptor. That would be such an amazing combination.
