Important to note that the induced mass (mass required by a given engine design that is not the engine itself) of Raptor 3, while far better than Raptor 2, still has a lot of room for improvement.
Thrust will exceed 300 tons with Raptor 3.x (thrust/mass>200), enabling 10,000 tons of thrust at liftoff and there might be up to 5 sec of Isp gain over time.
Getting close to the limit of known physics.

Biden-Harris' CHNV Airplane Importation program was targeted to punish those who vote against the Dems
-- 121% of the burden went to Red States.
Since CHNV began (Jan 2023) there have been:
- 280,000 more to Red States.
- 49,000 fewer to Blue.
That's about:
- 58,000 per month

OH. MY. WORD. Where... How... umm.... What. This is absolutely absurd engineering to simplify an engine down like this. What looks simple on the outside only makes for more complexity on the inside, so this must be a masterpiece.

The amount of work required to simplify the Raptor engine, internalize secondary flow paths and add regenerative cooling for exposed components was staggering.
As a result Raptor 3 doesn’t require any heat shield, eliminating heat shield mass & complexity, as well as the fire suppression system.
It is also lighter, has more thrust and has higher efficiency than Raptor 2.
Truly, a work of art.
