UPDATE: in a televised interview on Fox Sports, AutomobileMag's Joseph Capparella claims that Ford global product development vice president Raj Nair let the cat out of the bag: 450 horsepower. That's it!

I can understand why ford chose the ecoboost for the new raptor, I just wish they would have made a larger displacement eb just for the raptor. The current 3.5 eb is a revision of the the old 3.5 v-6 that was in everything from taurus's to explorers to fusions a few years ago and it made around 260 hp. The eb version gets better internals and direct injection heads and a pair of turbos. The 3.7 v-6 used in the mustang, the edge sport and the 150's is just a larger version of the old reliable 3.5 v6 with Ti-VCT heads. Why can't ford just make the 3.7 into an EB engine and see what kind of power you can get out of it and drop that into the new raptor.
