20. Out came the Ford’s intake cover, airbox, and coolant overflow tank.
21. The factory coolant overflow tank had to be removed due to its placement in the engine bay. It directly interfered with where the ProCharger unit needed to reside. With no detail overlooked, ProCharger included this fabricated tank to bring everything back to factory operation.

29. Knowing the Raptor was designed to get down and dirty, ProCharger created this blow-off valve that releases unused boost through a K&N filter. That would ensure no dirt could enter the system, a problem most any other supercharged vehicle would not worry about.

Our Honest Opinion
Well, what would a battle be without a little suspense? Right out of the gate, both trucks were worlds away from the original power levels. As long as some self-restraint was exercised, it could barely be determined that anything had happened to either truck. Noise levels under the hood were kept to a minimum and each vehicle could be driven without garnering the attention of any local peace officers. Of course, that just isn't any fun, so we stabbed at the throttle of both trucks mercilessly with grins that might still be stuck on our faces. Fun isn't even the word for it.
