Default Tuning 2011 6.2L Raptor

Ok, so my buddy just got an '11 6.2L raptor and called me about a "programmer". I know, myself, being a gm guy have used EFI live and some HPtuners(Hypertech, etc can only go so far). What program is best for tuning late model fords? SCT, I know is a mustang tool but would that be a good tool for a Raptor?

Also hes wanting a CAI. There again, GM does things diff than ford, as far as products go. Whats best for my TBSS isnt exactly the same for another model vehicle. Whats the best CAI for the 6.2s?

Thanks in advance!

I would imagine you could dyno tune the raptor. Cai id loom up comparisons on google for the truck see if you can find one where theyve tried a few different ines see which is the best

I know for a fact you can dyno tune one...There isnt much you can't. I just wanted to know what software everyone is seeing the best results out of.

I'd recommend using SCT for that Ford. Look up Troyer Performance, or Brooks Speed.

We have released support for the 6.2 models as well. The provided canned tunes are awesome, and the vehicle can be fully custom tuned using our CMR software if needed.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding the Trinity and inTune.

Attached is a dyno sheet showing a stock 6.2 raptor vs. our Premium fuel tune.

Thanks
