Raptor 3vze 190 hp

Has anyone used the raptor engines 3vze 3.0? They claim it makes 190hp and I was wondering if their reliable and can you feel the difference in power?

I once looked into these. But, after modding my own 3.0 and hitting a wall as far as performance upgrades I realized it's not really worth it. These engine can't handle extra power very well anyway. A stock 3.4L puts out 183 HP, which can easily go over 230+ with a Supercharger. The 3.0's just really aren't worth the money if you're looking for power.

I'm actually quite happy with the 150-160ish I have right now. It's enough to haul gear around the mountains with no issues so I'm good.

Thanks those helped out. My head gasket started leaking so I checking out all my options right now. I'd like to do the 3.4 swap but I'm off at college and don't have a place here to do it
