Sub 3 second 0-60! Yeehaw... I'm assuming that's in 4wd?

Any 1/4 mile times?

Not on this truck yet, the trans needed to be done all the way before any of that testing can start.

Just out of curiosity, what the most your can safely (or reasonably) make on these truck without going to an ethanol blend?

Any info on what was spent to accomplish getting to 700 HP?

If you gotta ask, it's not for you! /s

Just kidding, I'd also like to know! Here's a summary of things they mentioned in the article, looks like they left nothing untouched!

Garrett PowerMax turbo, modified by TurboMax with larger compressor wheel
Intake and throttle body ported and polished by GPE
CVF Performance charge pipes (large diameter)
Wagner Tuning Intercooler
Intake (not specified)
Nostrum Stage 3 injectors
Goliath high-pressure fuel pump
ESSIM Ethanol content Bluetooth reader
Exhaust:
- SPD Performance stainless downpipes with high-flow catalytic converters
- HAE Performance equal-length midpipe
- Borla polyphonic X-pipe
- Milltek valved exhaust
HP Tuners software/hadrware tune
Suncoast transmission upgrades
Improved cooling
Stronger driveline components
Brake enhancements

Yes I saw all of that. No kidding about having to ask, but I was wondering if swapping in a 760HP Predator would cost more or less? Then it could be called an R-cubed (Ranger Raptor R)

That would be wild! I have no thoughts/comments on the price, but you should do it and let us know how it is!

Actually with just the Ford performance tune, it already goes as fast as I can handle running along the Parker 400 route here in Arizona.

Round numbers I would say north of 15k

Big expense are

Fuel system
Turbos
Built trans

The rest is pretty normal bolt on stuff.

Amazing results for $15K

Keep in mind that definitely doesn't include labor I'm assuming if you have that kind of goal in mind you are doing the work yourself.

I'm surprised the stock rods / pistons handle that, but then again the CGI block is pretty stout and heavily reinforced (built like their diesel 6.7L block) so that should help with dimensional rigidity (which helps keep piston / rod alignment optimal), the 3.0L pistons also have cast in steel ring liners and oil cooling galleys, heavy skirts / wrist pin supports etc., so they are built like turbo diesel pistons and looks like you put them to good use!

I would say Ford did a pretty good job on the stock 3.0L bottom end and with a stock cal or Pro Cal, it should be darn near bullet proof given the fact that it's taking 700 WHP with the accompanying upgrades.

The rods and pistons are okay. The pistons are actually really nice forecast pissed and they have a piston cooling gallery hardcoded first ringland and some other cool features. The rods yeah they're not that great but they do hold a decent amount of power and on the Explorer St platform which has basically the same rod and piston it's actually my part number The Identical Rod but obviously the Piston is different we have held over 800 horsepower on the stock engine. That one is still going. Now granted that was with a big single turbo and it's super laggy but it works and it holds the power.

800 hp on a stock bottom end is impressive! The mild 455 hp put out by the Pro Cal shouldnt make any meaningful difference in the engines service life over stock with that much headroom. Ill bet that 800 hp is a riot once it spools up!
