Unleash Your Beast: The Ultimate Ford Raptor R Supercharger Upgrades

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

The Ford F-150 Raptor R boasts the body of a truck with the heart of a Shelby GT500. With a supercharged 5.2 L Predator V8 under the hood, it’s a monster off the line in stock form. If you want to make the truck even better, VMP is the place to make your fast Ford even faster. Our lineup of Raptor R performance parts is designed to deliver more horsepower, better cooling, and a driving experience that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Best of all, these are straightforward, bolt-on upgrades you can tackle right in your own garage.

Let It Breathe: VMP 108 mm. Throttle Body

 

The first step to making more power is getting more air into the engine. The stock 92 mm throttle body is good, but our massive VMP 108 mm Throttle Body is way better. This simple swap lets your supercharged 5.2 L engine take a huge gulp of air, giving you an instant gain of 15-30 rear wheel horsepower (rwhp). You’ll feel the difference immediately with a sharper, more responsive throttle and an increase in horsepower.

Stay Cool: VMP Intercooler Upgrades

Heat is the enemy of horsepower. When you start pushing your Raptor R, intake air temperatures (IATs) climb, and your engine control unit (ECU) can pull timing, robbing you of power right when you want it most. Our Raptor R Intercooler upgrades are the solution.

  • VMP 81 mm Street Intercooler: A perfect first step, this direct-fit intercooler is 12% thicker than stock. This added capacity drops IATs and provides a 25% decrease in temperature rise during a hard pull, ensuring your truck delivers consistent power every time.
  • VMP Apex Street Intercooler: Ready to get more serious? When paired with our Apex Predator Lid, this core offers a 40% increase in thickness. It uses the extra space to maximize the air’s contact time with the core, pulling out even more heat and adding horsepower.
  • VMP by PWR Apex Race Intercooler: For builds pushing over 950 rwhp, this is the ultimate cooling solution. Developed with the experts at PWR, this intercooler uses their proprietary bar-and-plate design, which is so efficient it doesn’t need the extra thickness. You get maximum cooling volume without the added weight, perfect for serious racing applications.

Supercharger Lids And Pulleys

Want to really wake up that supercharger? Our lids and pulleys are the key to unlocking serious, real-world power gains.

VMP Apex Predator Supercharger Lids: Believe it. A supercharger lid can add serious horsepower. Our patent-pending design removes the airflow restrictions of the stock blower, netting you 20-40 rwhp. You can upgrade the lid on its own or pair it with one of our intercoolers for the ultimate cooling and power package.
