If anyone is interested I have an intake from a 2020 up for grabs.
Airbox, AEM filter, intake tube, MAF, and throttle body.
PM and we can chat.

I would highly recommend going to HP tuners forum and start reading up on the manifold swap. I'm running the Ford power pack 2 with the GT350 throttle body with a 18' non-ported manifold with active IMRCs. I went with HP software and couldn't be happier.
Are you running the Power Pack 2 OS from HPTuners then modifying it? I was looking at piecing together my own setup with a GT350 intake and TB. I have an Injen cold air now because I wanted a sealed unit.

The stock tune plays nice with the GT350 mani. The only thing it misses is the later shifts on the auto trans cars.

I had the power pack 2 on the car prior to the manifold swap.
You can use a stock power pack 2 file from Hptuners as a starting point.

I was really close to buying the PP2, it gets great reviews. Right now my car is a bone stock 2015 PP car. Well other than the Injen cold air.

I’m wanting to do a manifold swap for my 17 GT. I’m between the 18-21 GT manifold or the PP2 GT350 manifold. Pros and cons between the 2? Can a Ford dealership install either of them to keep the warranty?

That would be between you and your dealership and you would not have the same coverage at another dealership so after you got them to install it and be willing to honor your warranty you are limited to that dealership. Another dealership will not have to honor the warranty

If you are looking too keep warranty go the PP3 route. That is the one with the GT350 mani

Some say the 18 is the better manifold but Ford keeps putting the GT350 manifold on the flagship cars..
