Cold air intake/ map sensor
I have a 2010 f150 5.4 triton and was thinking about getting a cold air intake. My question is will the factory map sensor be ok with that or will I need to upgrade it as well?

You don't have a MAP sensor. You do, however, have a MAF sensor.
OEM, air intake system .....

OEM, air intake system .....
.
- already CAI.
- air intake from LH (driver) wheel well behind the inner fender shield.
- air box has a lid. MEANING: It's not a HAI (HotAirIntake) allowing heated engine bay air.
- is made-of plastic. MEANING: Less heat-soak.
- IAT reading is nearly same as an aftermarket.
- OEM, Motorcraft air filters ...
- meets|exceeds engine air intake CFM requirements. *UNLESS über engine modifications are done. e.g. cylinder head and/or cams.
- good for 30,000+ miles. *Depending upon conditions.
- ABSOLUTELY NO possibility of MAF sensor oil contamination.
- dispose and replace maintenance.

Corbin5754 - So you are saying don’t bother buying a new intake system? Won’t notice a difference
If it's performance you're looking for ... Get a tune.
