5 3/4 hrs. later I was done with my plenum and Throttle body install... to say the least it was a nightmare..
Summary
Broke down Throttle Body and Stock Plenum (15 min)
Start switching parts over to new one.. (10 minutes)
get to last piece to move over (TPS) and we cannot get the damn locktited, 200 ft. lbs of torque bolts out.. we almost give up but we decide to go to Lowes for a Impact Screwdriver.. We meet a guy that just so happens to drive a 690 HP 980 lbs of Torque Dodge Truck (damn old men and their fanstasy's but back on topic) and he tells us that we should go to Sears...
Buy Part $25 bucks
Screwdriver / Sledge = TPS sensor oblitorated (we tapped and tapped and tapped and those screws were not going anywhere!!)
Another Trip.. this one to the AutoZone in BFE and Hootersville.. ie.. GHETTO!!!
but They have 1 in stock, THANK GOD!! another $25 bucks...
we finally get back around Midnight.. bolt everything back on (15 Minutes)
Total wrench time
45 Minutes
Total time of project
5 Hrs
But at the end I got a little HP and there is a little whistle now coming from my motor.. sounds like I only have a Kenny Bell on now.. which leads up to my question:
Does anyone else have a sucking / whistling sound after the Dragon / accufab plenum install?? its not continous, more of when I tap the gas, I hear a whistle...
lastly I do feel a difference, install is worth it, I'm not going to say I feel 24 HP from it.. but I can say it pulls harder.. alot harder.. I feel more power from this then my Timing Adjust and Pullies combined
