Default 18 GT manifold on a 13 F150?

Has anyone swapped an 18 GT manifold on a 2011-14 truck? Now that I'm keeping my truck, I'm thinking of doing some more mods. Thinking 18 GT manifold & the GT cam swap.
I Just have an Omega tune & JLT so far. Supercharger is too much right now.

The 18 also has port injectors.

It’s becoming a very popular swap...Boss intake power gains at 1/2 the price.
Let’s of info and write up’s on the High performance 5.0 F150 FB page.

DI are in the cylinder head, it has port injection too as mentioned so it will still work.

Several Mustangs have done the swap, but having trouble finding detailed info on the F150's.

It works well on the 15 and up trucks that have better cams than the 11-14 trucks. It’s a little bit convoluted at the moment, but what I’ve gathered talking to Ken at Oz Tuning and reading the (very long) thread over at Mistang6G, you either need to lockout the IMRCs or acquire/build harnesses. Power gains should be some of the best hp/dollar around with minimal torque loss.

Ive got an 18 manifold from Hellhorse and the necessary hardware, but I’m swamped. I’ll report back when she goes in.

If you need to lock out the IMRC you're losing the balanced benefits of this manifolds low end combined with top end and you will only get the top end. If you don't care much about that then basically it'll perform very similarly to a boss manifold while being way cheaper.

Any luck getting it put on?

I've been thinking about getting a ported '18 GT intake for my '16 and use the pigtail harness to keep the IMRC working. I really don't want to lose any off the low-end.
