Just curious if anyone has third party dynos of an Airflow Solutions Ported 18 manifold on a 2018+ GT (auto or manual) from a 3rd party, besides the one AFS posted on Facebook. Curious what folks are seeing. The VMP comparison was a ported 18 and stock 18 on a 15-17 GT, not an 18+ fyi so that isnt directly comparable. AFS is claiming 15-18whp and 8-10wtq on 18+ cars, vs 5-7whp and 8-10wtq on the 15-17's.

That doesn’t sound right. I would figure the 15-17’s would have more to gain and the 18’s would be minimal, since it’s the model’s factory manifold. It would be like a 2015 with a ported ‘15 manifold.

Highly doubt a porting job is going to add that much power. The jump is so great for 15-17 because the stock manifold sucks. You can visibly see how much better the 2018 is. The porting is good for a few extra ponies to smooth out the airflow, but it's not going to be an insane amount.

Porting is not worth more than 5-8 whp. Claims to the contrary should be viewed with significant skepticism.

I think That's a pretty good across the board spread.
VMP doesn't have a dog in this fight and have found them to be pretty upfront and honest
A good video

If your determined to go that route.....Won't get much more with other options
Probably shines even more with other mods

This is on a 15-17 with their sub-par manifold in comparison. I'm talking 18+ GT with a ported manifold over the stocker.

Negative. That's ported 18 manifold vs unported 18 manifold on a 15-17 car.

16, 17, 18, 19.5.....you'll get similar bump in results on ported vs non ported using that 18 manifold

Beef got any dyno sheets of the before/after on a 2018+ with the swap besides the one AFS posted showing like 16whp?
There. Other mods too. There's not much in it. Better? Sure.

Yours is a 15 though right? Not an 18+
Not my car. That ^^^ was on a 2018, though. There won't be a significant difference in gains between a 15-17 vs on an 18. The head ports aren't really any different (thus airflow), and the tiny increase in displacement won't show anything that's outside of measurement area.
