F-150 Manifold Testing/Journey

I too am looking for mornlow and mid range and thing just may be the ticket. And for under 64 bucks if it don't work it's not a terrible loss. Will have the car tuned once after I get back to back numbers before and after intake swaps and after I've driven as is to see how much more I can get from the tune.

Sounds like a lot of people need a Camaro, or a supercharger...

1. We like to see where we are driving.
2. You just added a lot of zeroes on a cheap mod.

I don't understand the nay-sayers. A manifold designed specifically to make more torque in a truck application is going to do just that. Why would anyone argue otherwise?

Nice results btw.

I think some people get to hooked on peak numbers.

Sorry, hard to tell from the graph but if i read this right, you gained barely any horsepower, but nearly 20 lb/ft of torque?

If so, that's pretty cool!!!

Gains everywhere pretty much, just not large peak gains on the HO side of things

Your tune looks a bit rough with those 3 major torque spikes. IIRC the Mustang GT4 racecar uses the f150 manifold to bump up low-mid range torque and to kill peak power at high RPM from a rule standpoint, and surely in your graph the torque and how takes a huge dive near redline.

Didn't the 350IM bump torque across the board, even at low rpm as well?

Yes the car needs tuned for this set up for sure to get the full potential. But knowing I'm adding headers in a couple weeks I haven't done it yet.

Yep.. average horsepower wins. Peak horse power doesn't power your way exiting a corner. That's the great thing about stock(ish) manifolds, great torque everywhere.

The best I can do at the moment. Non scientific.. lol just a pen and ruler and trying to guess but....
Results...
@3000 +20 TQ +5 hp
@3500 +15 TQ +5 hp
@4000 +36 TQ +27 hp
@4500 +0 TQ +25 hp
[MENTION=27928]50[/MENTION]00 +28 TQ +25 hp
@5500 +0 TQ +5 hp
@6000 +25 TQ +29 hp
@6500 + 5 TQ -6 hp
Peak +19 TQ + 2 hp
Final peak 398TQ/399HP

Forgive me if you stated this, but this is just a straigh IM swap, no retune, correct?

Looks to me that this manifold with some stage 3 cams would give you the best of both worlds!

Yes, no re tune. Just he swap

Still uses a GT intake. It would be fun to see someone with a 350 motor swap a GT intake mani!

Very interesting. I've been looking for more balanced approaches to engine mods. This could do quite nicely.
