The Raptor's H.O. 3.5L EB power numbers are based on running 93 octane. The boost is also turned up higher than the standard EB's. That's how it's able to reach 450 HP / 510 TQ.

Any 93 octane tune of the standard 2018 3.5L EB will give you those numbers and more. So for around $500-600, you can basically have the "High Output EcoBoost" motor now.
