[QUOTE="Blk04L, post: 15507127, member: 48574"] Uh, the power is actually a tad too much for the stock suspension for it's intended purpose. IE offroad and not racing to the mall/coffee shops. You can get into a lot of trouble with 411 horsepower in a 6k lb truck in multiple terrains. The Raptor is one vehicle where the first mods should be suspension than more power. [I]On January 16th, 2013 Ford SVT opened it's doors to 25+ Raptor owners. They had bagels, OJ and coffee waiting for us in an auditorium. We had a snack and listened to Jamal Hameedi, Kerry Baldori (Chief Function Engineering), and Raj Sarker (Marketing) go through the same presentation that was used to promote the Raptor within Ford. 4. Would Ford consider selling the Raptor from the factory Supercharged? • No, it would lessen an already slim market by severely reducing fuel economy. At that point, they asked the crowd if they thought the raptor doesn’t have enough power.
