Teenage Raptor. Is that better
Not really a Raptor, but okay
A "Raptor" is a 🦖. So none of the Real Raptor trucks are Real. I guess I should post at the top that I know my RAM truck is not a Ford Raptor. I used 345 cuin. Badges even though the motor is 343 cuin. I guess I need a disclaimer for that also. The truck looks and runs bad ***, and snarls like I would think a Raptor would. She is a dangerous girl lolol.

I’m not raining on your parade, just genuinely curious. You have a TRX logo on the tailgate (the one we use for the hellcat engine, but instead of the cat head we use a T-Rex head). But you have a standard 5.7L Hemi, right? Have you done some mods to the engine?

Light Mods, Thorton Stage 3 W/Tuner, Full S&B Cold Air Intake, MBRP Exhaust. Sounds fantastic without being too loud. The throttle command function is so much fun, The truck drives like it weighs 1000 lbs less. And with the four-wheel independent suspension, and now with Bilstien 5100 she rides like a dream.. It probably does weigh a bit less judging by the enormous OEM muffler. The rebadging and Black out are just for fun, like switching to 345 instead of 5.7 Just makes her different than the other trucks. She is my teenage Raptor Ram, she is badass, and I am having a blast

Fair enough - I don't suppose you've put it on a dyno yet, have you? I'd be interested to see what kind of whp you're making on it.

Welcome. Your truck is definitely original.

Probably not much more than factory. The Thornton stage 3 is just a plug in OBD performance "chip" that can't really do much to actually increase performance.
