I just finished doing a track test on the fx4 eb and platinum 6.2, and notice how much of a growl the 6.2 has stock. Thing is just a beast.

Isn't it already loud enough?

How come some say thing only get like 12mpg everywhere they go? How much feather on the throttle do you need to do to get 15's?

Around town in a Raptor there is no way you will see 15's. Highway yes. Around town no way. I bet a regular truck running stock 32 inch tires with 3.55's will do a whole lot better. All I can say is the milage of my supercrew raptor is very similar to my leveled 2005 lariat with 33's on 20's. The main difference is the raptor has way more power all through the rev band. Definately good times. And thanks for the compliments. And just an fyi, stock the truck sounded pretty good, but I have never owned a car with stock exhaust. It sure didnt seem right on a raptor!

I have seen a ton of ecoboost vs 6.2 ramblings on this board and thought I would chime in. They both make great power but on cubes make this kind of sound. I wouldnt trade my gas hog 6.2 for anything!

PS sorry for the crappy cell phone video but you get the idea!

Okay, you just sealed the deal for me. Probably been reading the thread I started on this issue?

Seriously, I am so jealous that I want to go out and but it now but still have to wait a couple more months. Your tuck sounds great, and loved seeing the video as you drove it. Thanks!
