🔥The Raptor R is a powerful truck with impressive performance potential.
🛠️VMP performance parts, such as pulleys and an intercooler core, can increase power and improve performance.
🚀Despite not being able to tune the stock ECU, we still see significant gains in torque and horsepower.
⛓️The limitations of the stock configuration may be overcome with custom tuning.
🔬Further testing and tuning are needed to unlock the full potential of the Raptor R.
Can I increase the power and performance of the Raptor R?
—Yes, by installing aftermarket performance parts such as pulleys and an intercooler core, you can increase power and improve performance.
Do I need to tune the stock ECU for these upgrades?
—Ideally, custom tuning is recommended to fully optimize the performance gains from the upgrades. However, due to the current limitations of the Raptor R's stock ECU, custom tuning may not be possible at the moment.
What are the limitations of the stock configuration?
—The stock configuration of the Raptor R has a power limit set by the ECU, which prevents it from making substantial power gains without custom tuning.
Is custom tuning necessary for the Raptor R?
—Custom tuning is not necessary for basic upgrades such as pulleys and intercooler cores. However, for maximum performance gains, custom tuning is highly recommended to optimize the upgraded components.
What are the next steps to unlock the full potential of the Raptor R?
—To unlock the full potential of the Raptor R, we need to wait for SCT, HP Tuners, or other tuning companies to develop strategies to unlock the stock ECU. Once the ECU is unlocked, custom tuning can be performed to maximize performance.
