I just called in today and I'm number 2 on the pre-order list at a dealership. I know it's a little early and much of this will be just guesses but that's fine with me. I wanted to get some expert opinions on the pluses and deltas of the engine choices. I was leaning towards the 6.2 simply for more power, but I'm second guessing it now.
Will there be more options for beefing up the 5.4, or are there already tons of options if any of the existing 5.4 stuff is compatable? Will there be, or will existing S/C work with the 5.4 in the raptor? I'm not sure I'd want to S/C a truck like this anyway since I like the idea of a high output N/A engine wiich is kinda why I wanted the 6.2 originally.
5.4 pluses
more power adders already on the market
more options since there are many vehicles already with similar engine
cheaper up front (can use that 3000 for beefing up engine)
get it sooner (I know, I know, very silly)
maybe a tiny bit better milage P)
6.2 pluses
more power stock
I need your input! I don't want to make a hasty, uninformed decision. I love my Sport Trac but I've been waiting over 2 years for a S/C and none ever became available, so i gave up on my own version of the Adrenalin that never was. I don't want to go into this picking "the wrong" engine for the wrong reasons.
Thanks!
