The 400/400 stat I read seems to have been removed. it was on the "build your Raptor" section earlier in the week.
The 6.2L is a 3k option- well worth the wait even if it is only 400bhp- 500bhp would be insane but I can't see it happening unless they go to forced induction like the prev. gen Lightning. Unlike the European competition, NA domestic engines and a high specific output are total strangers you see....
I would not say that, The Chrysler 5.7 HEMI is making 390HP on 87 octane, while Toyota's 5.7 V8 makes 381. The upcoming 6.4 HEMI is expected to make around 450-500HP. Fords old DOHC 5.4 back in 2000 made some pretty insane power N/A as well.
If anything, I'd say they have the 6.2 detuned to preserve the transmission and the rest of hte drive train, or it is under rated.
