My real question is how much extra will the tuners drag out of it. One of the main limiting factors of the first 3.5EB was fuel delivery and many are hoping that is resolved with the dual injection system. GM apparently has faith in the co-developed 10 speed since they're bolting it into an 850HP Camaro.

Anyone think we'll see an 850HP VelociRaptor from Hennessey?
That would be almost 500HP from the turbos. I'd be afraid that would blow the engine up. The Hennessey supercharged 6.2L V8 only got 600HP

It's gonna have to have some pretty crazy numbers to do that.

But at the same time, the Shelby had a DOHC, 4 valve per cylinder motor. Vs the Camaro's pushrod. But yea I'd take the Shelby any day regardless

The new Raptor isn't SVT.

"Those numbers? A full 450 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 510 lb-ft of torque at 3500. These figures are compatible with Ford’s official statement that the Raptor’s new 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine will better the V-8-powered last-gen truck’s output of 411 horsepower and 434 lb-ft."

As much as I love the raptor I'd much prefer a reborn lightning. Assuming the new one is anything like the old one it will be merely OK acceleration (based on numbers this seems likely) and abysmal road manners like the last one.

Despite that I do want my truck to look like the raptor and keep its current suspension

GM is a slow follower in my opinion. At least on trucks they are.

That will just depend on how strong the block is. Hennessey will bolt on bigger and bigger turbos and stuff in more boost until they get satisfied.

If only you could get the 6.5ft bed on the Raptor.

Don't forget every gm guy will brag about how great the ls platform is because of its cam in block design. Let's not give that to them as an excuse every time the design falls short now.
As a hot rodder they are an exceptional engine. Small on the outside with plenty of bore space to make big strokers. But in Stock form they are beginning to fall short imo.
