F-150 Manifold Testing/Journey

[RedRyan98]

Mine's in the garage waiting to install next month ... any tips on the install?

Overall its annoying but not terrible. I would definitely recommend a second set of hands. Getting the clips/wires at the back of the manifold would have been much more difficult if I was doing it solo. Its also not a bad idea to snap a few pictures of the stock manifold before it comes out, and once its out just to see how everything is arranged. Double check that all injector wire harnesses are firmly clipped in when reinstalling. We missed one and if we didn't have a scan tool it would have taken a while to diagnose why the car was so shaky.

LMR.com has a great video of the performance pack 3 install which includes the manifold I'd use that as a guide.

Well I ended up installing the F150 manifold last night. As mentioned above the car is otherwise stock (just an RTR axleback) and seat of the pants it definitely feels like it added a little torque in the midrange. Nothing earth-shattering of course but for the $100 it cost me I'm happy. Will eventually add the PP2 to the mix.

Factory tune?

Factory tune?

Yup.

Drove the car again this morning and very happy with the result. getting on it in the 3k-4k range puts a bigger smile on my face than it used to. for $100 its a no brainer as long as you won't miss a tiny decline above 6k.

Sounds like for a street car it’s a good option.

it is. torque hits real quick. I'm just a follower who is moving on the '18 bandwagon.

I really want more low end and midrange torque but I don’t want to completely kill top end. I enjoy my 7200 rpm shifts on E85

Just try 7,800 rpm shifts and see how big of a smile you get.. ;-)

I’m about to pull the trigger on an F-150 manifold. Should I do it?

Man i wanna see a Dyno of this with a true tune not stock tune and see how well they can get it to run. I know it will work for me just really wanna see where power and torque max out and start with a true tune meant for this.

Calling all those that have this installed for some time ... any regrets? Anyone taken it back off?

Decided to keep the car stock. I have an IM for $20 plus shipping.

I bet the power would be awesome with my Lund E85 tune.

No regrets buts its coming off as soon as we get good weather in Jacksonville & I get the car back (getting A/C repaired).

I have a tune with the Mani on my car. But would need a dyno tune to get the most out of it and fix some of the curve. Still hoping to improve things with porting the mani and adding headers.
