[QUOTE="DoneItDeliberate, post: 16709735, member: 202654"] It's not an act, the HO EB is superior to the 6.2 and 5.0, supercharged or not, in this application. I can't stress enough how much the lighter weight of the EB benefits the Raptor while hitting trails at speed. It is night and day difference. The company I worked for had 2 development vehicles we built our suspension and bumpers on: A 2015 F150 4x4, 5.0, SCREW, with a 2.9 Whipple and full exhaust including headers. A 2017 Raptor, HO EB, SCAB, with a custom Borla exhaust routed through our cantilever system. Both trucks got had a 16" mid travel system up front (2.5 King coil over with remote bypass [minimal valving to let the bypass shock do most the work], 3.0 King remote bypass shock, rear cantilever system with 20" of travel, 3.0 King bypass shocks, Deaver +2 springs, sprung under conversion, front and rear King 2.5 hydraulic bump stops, on 37" tires. We weighed both trucks and the Raptor had better F/R weight balance. Out on the trail and in the dunes the Raptor had better all around performance, it felt light and responsive through the rough and was easy to manage. The F150 wasn't as easy to manage in the rough stuff and required more skill to maintain speed. The only place the blown 5.0 was better was hills climbs/sand drags. [/QUOTE]
