Wow if that 310 is true, it confirms all our worst fears about Ford as dicussed over the last 3 months. How did they get 10 hp, put a K& N on?
That said, you can't build a new 6.2L V8 and limit it to a SVT model, economics don't add up, and I suspect even if it was the gas option in the SuperDuty, I'm not sure they sell enough gas SD (historically anyway) to justify that engine, so eventually it will have to make its way to the non-SVT F-150. The BIG question is now WHEN. Some of us need to upgrade sooner rather than 2 years from now...
Maybe I can see if I can put 250,000 M on the current truck?

it's rumored that ford utilized open valve injection on the 09 trucks. that would give a slight increase in hp as well as mpg.
now if they have a competely new engine for the raptor. it is common for ford to release it in the higher cost vehicles before it comes down to a bigger line of vehicles.. but maybe it is just a svt'd vesion of the 5.4. nothing is for certain here , I have my doubts about anything until ford releases it to the public.
I personally am planning on ordering a 09 xlt reg cab 4x4 8' bed 5.4l . but if something gets offically anounced maybe it will change.

Ok so i just spoke with my dad briefly and this is what he could remember off the top of his head. 310hp and no word of bigger engine
4.4L diesel in 2010. He couldnt remember all the specs. They did confirm the raptor even with a pic of the front end. fox shocks with 4in more travel than the standard f150 and 385hp.
I know i need pics. I will get them either tonight or tommrow morning. he has pics of the front of the raptor, the specs on the diesel and numerous of the 150.

Yeah, that is super bad. Never noticed it before now. Wonder why it's so bad? 
Love that blue. I wonder if Ford will ever address any of the concerns from the current model to the new one. If they'll ever say --> yeah we fixed the windshield cowls that break, rattle, and fade. yeah, we fixed the rear sliders that haphazardly work and rattle. Etc, etc.
