Woo Hoo. I just found out I am in for the Denver Show:doing the wave: :3gears:

Here is what you get....
- Start with a private breakfast or dinner, depending on the location.
- Move to a show stand with Raptor development engineer for a Q&A session, photo op and time to play with the Raptor simulator.
- Ford picks up the tab for the meal and show entry pass costs.
- There will be bags of exclusive Raptor goodies.

Bill, Shoot me a PM or Email if there is any technical Questions you want me to ask them about the Raptor and Tuning:evillol::cool_beans:

went to the event and show yesterday... anyway was talking to the lead engineer and asked him about power and tuning the 6.2l which is rated at 390hp and400ftlb torque. he said by changing the camshafts and some tuning they were able to get 500HP! out of that engine... so I think there will be a lot of potential for tuning.. also it will include an off road position switch that will modify the shift patterns. ABS, stability control etc.. also has an electric locking rear differential:cheesy smile:

Man, that sure sounds like a sweet truck. I just hope they incorporate some of those options into the regular trucks. I don't need the crazy suspension and body work but I would really like the locking differential and 6.2L! Not to mention I would much prefer a supercrew! Guess we will have to wait and see.
