F-150 Manifold Testing/Journey

I had lund look at my E85 tune with the F-150 intake installed and no changes needed to be made. .

Livernois also told me that the 2 manifolds (GT & F150) are so close from a tuning standpoint that no changes are required.

So that's 2 tuners, Lund & Livernois, saying a normal GT tune (which would include the Ford PP2) is fine.

Does anyone have one for sale?

eBay is your best bet. No one seems to know for sure if the F150 2018 mani will work so go for the '15-'17.

Haven’t seen any for sale on EBay lately. May have to find a pick and pull and see what they have

Anyone take one down the strip and said to themselves "shoulda stuck with the GT manny"?

I'm waiting until the fall and winter to run at the track. Too damn hot and humid right now.

I'm waiting for someone to try out the 2018 manifold to see if it's superior to the 2015-2017 manifold.

I sold the manifold to another member weeks ago for $60 shipped! I haven"t been to the track but did some test runs by my house with the f150 & 2018 intake. No official times but car from a standing stop was 11 mph faster with '18 intake vs f150. F150 used Bama canned tune. '18 VMP. Tune prob played huge role in power difference!

I've got a new take off in a box. Pm me if your still looking.

Anybody running a Procharger with theirs? I don’t track so I was thinking of getting a Whipple (for instant boost) next year but if I can daily drive a F150 IM + Procharger then I’ll do that. And I have 3.73s.

I did for a short time before changing to the 18 manifold. The initial punch in the midrange was noticeably better than the stock or 18 manifold, however it did not seem to like going over 6-6500, Revved up slower and you could feel the drop off. It wasn't horrible but I prefer the power delivery of the 18 manifold better myself.

If you want a Procharger with instant boost, wastegate it. it will have very similar power delivery of a Whipple while keeping the benefits of a centri, which is why I went that route. The wastegate made an incredible difference to my car on the street and boost builds the minute you touch the throttle, way more of an impact than any manifold will have. I prefer the wastegated centri with an 18 manifold for the best of both worlds. Take a look at my build log or send me a PM if you need more info.
