I appreciate you calling me Jesus.

I honestly had no idea how inefficient the drivetrain was until BPD mentioned it. At this point I'm thinking a full FWD only conversion is the best option.

As far as talking whp loss, thats a methd up topic.
Idk, I have a really hard time believing that everyone is getting it wrong.. but, explain to me how a 280whp 4500lbs boat can outdo a
Lexus ISF? I raced one the day after I got the SHO, no tune or anything, we went at it like 9 different times, smoked him all but once when I tried to use the paddle shifters and he pulled half a length then we still walked by him. I feel like they are trying to use 2wd dynos or something

Ok i didn't realize that
Before blowing up with your caps lock and spewing off things "you read about" listen first. Most of us including yours truly have had our cars apart. Most of us know what we are talking about, because he have either had to fix them, or upgrade them.

This reminds me of when I was a kid and all my friends really tried to convince me about Santa. I wanted to believe......I really wanted to.

I was hoping the ford SSV had a bunch of cool parts for me.....nope, but at least the raptor does!

LOL...well, Santa doesn't exist, sorry to break the news...

And I am certain these are backwards compatible...even if you don't have a cooler, the one with the cooler "will bolt up". It would just take someone with some ingenuity to create an external cooler using the exisiting cooler housing

Thats fine and all but you never explain anything until I push it dude, you can't expect me to just accept whatever you say you have to give some explanation.

Hey, it's cool, we are all here to learn from each other...just understand, there's a ton of combined ecoboost experience on here...I've gained a lot myself from folks on here.

Btw, the Limited and Raptor share the same ** version of the 3.5L...there are some differences with the other ones. Pistons (making a different CR) are one point of difference

The PI and PP SHO/XSport are no different except for interior trim, some exterior trim and creature comforts. The PP SHO/XSport are basically PI that have been civilized. They received all the same treatments as far as drivetrain/braking/suspension as their PI counterparts for their respective years. IE, a 2015 PP SHO got the same as a 2015 PI, but obviously the 2013 PP SHO will have some differences to that same 2015 PI. Whatever revisions were made through the years on the PI were given to the PP SHO/XSport for the equivalent model year and vice versa...
