F-150 Manifold Testing/Journey

this thread kinda died. how is everyone that did the install liking it? personally i love it. little easier around town with the torque bump, dont have to rev as much or downshift as much. def dont feel down on power anywhere compared to before. pretty solid $65

I’m still loving mine. Glad to see other people are also liking theirs. It was a long shot that this thing would work! I have added an AIRAID intake and a tune revision since my last DYNO. Really cleaned things up. I’d like to hit the rollers again before headers and another tune, but I don’t know how things will play out. I’m still hoping to hit 425/425 with this setup?

did yours require a re tune and who is doing your tune? i still need to post up a log to have someone check out since lund is charging for that now. they said i shouldnt need a retune but i feel like a retune would def help clean it up a little bit more.

It doesn't require a tune, but there is more to be had in cleaning up the curve as you can see from my OP dyno runs. I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time and had a HPTuners rep from Peitz Performance spend about 2 hrs tuning the car and playing around with it. Unfortunately I live in a 91 oct state so there is more on the table. He said the best way to get more will be to get the car on a dyno and start fine tunning things. Once I have my headers on I'll have it retuned. I don't speak much tune language but he did mention we were able to raise my maf flow rate by 3.5 so should be good for some more ponies hopefully.

Loving mine still

Glad to see people are enjoying their F150 IM...guys in another post are pretty critical of it. Made me think twice about installing mine.

I haven’t seen a post where they bashed it?

The biggest problem with that thread being the main opponents to the F150 manifold continuously referenced dyno charts of an already messed up datalog.

I see the issue has its an email tune? NO offence to all the tuners of the s550 but ........ how many F150 manifold cars have they tuned and logged? I still think to see the real potential there needs to be a good dyno tune on the spot with a good tuner.

i still believe 100% there is ALOT left on the table with VCT tuning.

Only way to get that nailed down is hours and hours of datalogging and driving!

Dyno only does so much for driveability

If I ever put mine on I have Dakota @ Lund willing to work on the tune and VCT to see if more can be gotten out of it.

I'll be waiting to install it until spring though most likely.

Why don't we have an F150 mani car race a stock mani car and put the issue to rest?

Brilliant idea!

JUST grabbed mine for $75 shipped off eBay after reading this thread. I was saving up for TVS but this would be more usable for a daily driver if it works out. Posting to subscribe.
