The Most Powerful Ranger Raptor in the World?

Clickbait title, I hope not.

I'll start off by saying, since first seeing these trucks (Utes) down under, I knew they would be a lot of fun. Didn't get a Raptor R allocation, so I asked my dealer if I could get the first Ranger Raptor. He said, they don't make a Ranger Raptor, I said but if they do.....can i get it, he laughed and said sure. He knows I'm a little crazy.

Fast forward a little, and I'm under the hood, breaking tabs, swapping ECU's, from my tuned Raptor F150, trying to hurry so the wife doesn't see me messing with her truck. Adam (ZFG Racing) on the other line talking me through the process, being patient with me as I barely can work a zip tie. He's remotely tuning the first Ranger Raptor in Australia...(first custom tuned F1 ecu Aus RR).

From there we tuned and tested a ton of products/setups over the next few months. Have been Blessed to work with amazing companies. Finally got to spend some time on the dyno last week @ Nostrum High Performance in Ann Arbor, MI. just a few miles from where my RR was born.

The results were great, but a little disappointing, I really wanted to see the numbers start with a 7, but we ran out of turbos.
Final numbers on e70 fuel were 671.30 rwhp & 673.13 tq

I had a 2019 Audi RS3 that I ran on E85 and it was f'ing amazing, miss that car so much.

This was when we were 100hp & 100ft lb tq less. Also just installed a new transmission so wasn’t hard on it coming out. Just got the truck back last weekend, and not had time to make any runs. 3 days of rain hasn’t helped either.

Wow...thats unreal.

Good job Derrick! Super jealous but I'll get there someday. I want to run full e85 like my CTS-V. Our winter blend is around 65% or so and our summer blend is 76% and we have 93 octane available.

You rip it by the Goonzquad shop yet lol.

Hey, save some HP for the rest of us!

i was e48 for the e50 runs and e70 on the last runs. Our pump e85 is between 70-74, it's the highest around me, at the Speedway stations.

Not sure what you’re asking but I’ll try.

The Australian Ute is built in Thailand and is supposed to have the same gearbox. I don’t think that it’s any different other than theirs are coated/painted nice and pretty, where ours are covered with rust.

I just shipped my mate a Suncoast transmission, because they’re having similar issues with the 10R60 as we are.

I read the overseas Ranger Raptor used the 10R80. Just trying to confirm. I want to use the transfer case from Thailand version IF it mates up to 10R80, Why? Because I'm swapping in a F-150 predator 5.2 engine into a Bronco and I'm using a 10 r80r from the F-150 and the pattern is different apparently from the 10r80 and the existing Bronco transfer case won't work apparently and the F-150 transfer case has a big long gouty slip yoke built into the transfer case which will make the Driveline too short for my application ...many thanks in advance for your help!
