430 ft lbs of torque from the factory in a half ton is going to scoot. With just tuning you will see over 500 ft lbs from the 6.2, they did it with the Baja Raptor. Imagine what forced induction is going to do...

I test drove a new 6.2L Raptor not too long ago and gotta say I wasn't all that impressed either. Even with the 4.10's they come with. I have driven 3 of the 5.4L Raptors and the difference did not seem like 100hp and 50+tq. Nor do I think it warranted the 3000 dollar price upgrade.

Hopefully the aftermarket will catch up once the 6.2 really catches on and can improve it.

I guess I was expecting more considering the power difference.
