Agree to disagree?
Most truck motors are designed and tuned to produce torque down low. The Voodoo doesn't do that because it's designed to work best between 4,000 RPM to redline on a road course. So for it to work in a truck that is used as a daily driver, you would have to completely alter how the motor makes it power. That's expensive, and the motor is already expensive because it's used in one low volume car. If you alter everything behind the motor it's also expensive.
Most Raptors will see little off road use. I base that opinion on how the majority in my area are spotless, pavement princesses. So the Voodoo wouldn't work for those owners.
It would work best for the small minority that bought the truck for its indented off-road use. But that intended use was tainted because people want the truck for how it looks. Lifted trucks look badass, and this one comes with a warranty and the parts installed for you.
I agree with you on using it for a dedicated race truck that will see high RPM use most of the time because race truck. I don't agree with you on putting the Voodoo in the street truck as it wouldn't work for 90% of the people who buy one
