Keepin' the lights on!
I think there's more peak HP to be had out of the fuel system now, its just a matter of either feeding the lull down low or trying to tune around that area to keep the TQ in check, which may make the truck feel like a dog.
I officially scheduled my dyno day yesterday for Jan 10th, I'll be testing the latest from SSI, MPT and LET to see what kind of number we can put down with where I'm at mods wise now. Maybe blow a hole in the block, who knows....lol

Just curious, how many miles on an engine is too many when planning a turbo/fueling upgrade? I've got 60k of well maintained miles but the longer it takes for this stuff to come out the more leary I get of doing it.

Joewee, it's really impossible to say without knowing what the weakest link is, but the argument can be made that the ring end gaps are wider at high mileage so you're actually better off.

We have a set in a truck with 100k miles, as of now everything looks good.

Full Race comment on exhaust manifold went this way.
the first restriction is the stock airfilter followed by 2.5" catback (i recommend upgrade to 3") followed by the stock exhaust manifolds (1.18" at manifold outlet vs 1.35" at gasket and turbine inlet) then the y pipes

I was also thinking while the turbos are off, Porting or a manifold upgrade too. Has anyone heard of these 3.5L EcoBoost performance manifolds or have they purchased a set?

I would just take the stock exhaust manifolds off port them out 1/2 way with a harbor freight small air grinder and try them with new gaskets. See if you like it before investing s lot of cash in new speed parts. Nice weekend project.
