This is a GT350 intake manifold with a GT350 intake tube and a GT500 air box. This is on my 2016 GT.

This is the best looking engine bay setup IMO, and makes me want the Power Pack 3. I know that Levittown sells an intake lid kit that pairs nicely with it.

My concern about Power Pack 3 is the 7500rpm rev limiter and how the Gen 3 coyote added a new damper. How often do you rev it over 7k?

Thanks. I started with PP2, but wanted to try something new so I got the intake and air box both from Levittown. I have HP Tuners and was able to reflash the car to Ford's PP3 tune but I set the rev limiter to 7900, I plan to shift at 7800.

The Gen 2 Coyote has the same valve springs and top end components as the Road Runner (Boss 302) which had a 7500 RPM rev limit. There are a ton of guys revving Road Runners and Gen 2 Coyotes to 8k or more. See info below.

Alrighty then sounds like I focused on the wrong part of the specification PDF, thanks man.

Seems like 7500rpm is relatively safe then. I'm doing my brakes this year so PP3 will have to be next year.

The intake manifold looks stock but that looks like a GT350 "hot" air intake tube and filter housing. You may have a GT350 throttle body and the PP2 programming. Can you post a closer pic of the throttle body?

Looks different from my stock TB. Looks like Power Pack 2 to me.

Try and get a look to see if there is a throttle body adapter sandwiched between the TB and intake. It does look Power Pack 2 to me as well. The engine cover was also trimmed to fit. Circled below.

An easy way to see if you have the PP2 tune is the no-lift shift feature is has. Go wide open in 2nd or 3rd gear and keep your foot on the floor when up shifting to the next gear (maybe shift around 5000rpms or so). The tune will keep the RPMs from rising on the shift when you kick the clutch while your foot is still on the floor.

I also see whomever installed it was lazy and did not fully remove the sound tube.
