The LS7 also had a lot of titanium parts and a dry sump, which from what I can tell, most weights for the engine don't include the sump.

Going to have to do something. Chevrolet is going to strike with a larger displacement DOHC.

The Raptor needs its balls back. Enough with this ecoshit.
Lol wat? Either gen Raptor has more than enough power off-road. So you’re talking on-road Performance? Well the Gen2 “ecoshit” as you say, sliced and diced the Gen1’s balls all while enjoying an SBucks Frap. Sound wise, roger the Gen1 is better, all else.... GTFOutta here with your BS.

No need to be an asshole about it. You can just agree to disagree. And yes, its ecoshit. What I mean by balls is a V8, not a 6cyl. IDGAF if the ecoshit is faster then the Gen1. I dont buy pickups for speed. Enjoy Jen 2

Well if almost 100 more Ft/lbs doesnt count as balls then... idk what to tell you man. Yes, i agree sound is a very big part of it but you just cant deny the power and powerband superiority the TT V6 offers.

Which makes me wonder why they just didn't do an ecoboost 5.0 in the new Raptor instead of a V6. Oh well, it's just armchair engineering at this point.

Calls the Gen2 ball-less and the engine “ecoshit”. Meanwhile I say both gen Raptors are capable (despite on-road performance), and I’m the asshole...lol ok dude.

So V8 with 400hp = balls
TTV6 with 450/510ftlb = balless
Seems legit
So would a 200hp V8 be better than a 450hp V6 because V8 is da best?

It has a better torque curve, more down low power, more top end power and better mileage.

Its a superior engine in every performance metric. Not just speed... But seeing as the raptor was built as a high speed desert off roader. Speed helps.

I had a gen1 and now have a gen2. Speaking from experience the gen2 is a significantly better truck, ok except for the sound. In every possible other way it is better. Faster and more powerful and better acceleration and better transmission and better handling and better interior etc. ok so the sound. I personally do not think of balls when I hear an engine. What else makes it ball-less?
