[?] '18 Intake Manifold on '15-'17

[Biggsy]

Don’t mean to be that guy to ask a redundant question but I am looking to increase in torque. I don’t track my car nor rev past 5500. Mostly street and highway driving. Thing about a ported 18 or f150. Is one better than the other ? Or would it be that much of an improvement between them? Thanks for any input

F150 manifold for sure. Although I think it's silly to never rev past 5500, the F150 shines in the midrange up to 6500 whereas the 18 manifold shines over 6500. No reason to even consider the 18 manifold for your use IMO.

Much appreciated ! And it’s not that I try not to it’s just that driving in DC doesn’t allow me to. But thanks again.

So to summarize, to keep IMRC with the 18 GT manifold, I need 2 wpt1492 pigtails, a tune, and a cold air intake. Which cold air intake do you get, 15-17 GT or one for 18 GT. Seems weird that there isn't how to thread on this yet.

Haven't installed mine yet bit purchased the plug and play which includes the Y splitter

There is a thread on this, it's in this thread and another DIY, also need to wire together blue connectors. Seach is your friend. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100464

I had the F150 on, now the '18. Finally gotten a chance to do some WOT runs from a dead stop. The '18 was way faster than the F150 in the distances but there were key differences. The '18 tune is VMP, F150 Bama. So that could have been one of the biggest differences. TBH I'm enjoying the '18 better. No regrets!

Thanks. The Lund write up is exactly what I am looking for. Couldn't quite figure out how the wiring was supposed to go but that clears it up.

What's everyone's AFR with their IMRC's locked out (i.e. idle, WOT, coming to a stop)?

What's everyone getting for MAF lb/min flow rate with the 18 manifold?

Looks like you're getting a small bit of knock close to 8K. I have about the same throughout my WOT pulls from time to time. Wonder what's causing it.

I've ruled out bad gas already.

Longtubes or stock headers?

Here's mine for comparison. E85, Full Exhaust, 18 Mani, LU 47's, PMAS

2018 intake on here as well. Dyno tomorrow.

Where's that dyno sheet? Please post it up!

My only "power" modification is the intake manifold. Is that the E85 "race" tune? I have issues getting timing out of any of my Lund calibrations even on E85.
