Intake ,plenum ,Throttle Body Combos?

[superstang01]

hey ,
I am considering doing all the parts listed in the tittle of the thread. I am just wondering if there is any good combos to use and what pieces give you the most power and looks. If there coudl be some links thrown in that woudl also be great.
Thanks :SNSign:

If you mean like a cold air intake or something, save your money and just buy a drop in K&N filter. It will offer the same performance for alot less $, unless you want the look of a new CAI. If you really want one, BBK or MAC are cheap, but JLT gets alot of praise.

As far as a plenum and throttle body combo, Accufab is known to be the best quality wise, and squeeze every last ounce of gains from the combo (which isnt a ton by the way)... however, they are very expensive. You can get an RPM Outlet (which is a C&L copy) plenum with a BBK throttle body for $245... good deal right there.

I don't know if I agree with Accufab as the best quality. I know of quite a few Accufab 75mm TB and upper intake combos whistling. I know my BBK 75mm TB and C&L upper intake does not and I know of a few others with the same as me, that do not either.

My accufab is dead quiet. It's the best tb/plenum combo i've seen yet.

And my plenum is possibly for sale too.

m0dular depot has a link with dyno results showing Accufab plenum/TB to be the highest gainers on that particular vehicle, when compared against several others.

I would go with the cheapest setup. Because most all combo's produced about the same amount of HP gains. And why pay $400 for an Accufab setup when you can get the same setup for half that price? If you spend more than $200 for the plenum/tb, your getting ripped. I'd rather put that money toward gears or something more productive.

************.com has a link with dyno results showing Accufab plenum/TB to be the highest gainers on that particular vehicle, when compared against several others.

************ has two tech articles comparing, on the dyno, four different tb/pl combinations in both 70mm and 75mm. The accufab combo always came up on top, always (this is consistant with numberous other dyno tests, though less documented and less technically precise). It costs more, but if you're going to do it, might as well do it right. By the way, 70mm combo actually produced more horsepower and torque across the band and is said to be more beneficial than the 75mm unless you have some power adder. At that point though, it's not even too important.

I believe the Accufab combo is $365 shipped on MustangTuning.com.

Quality is top notch as well.

As for CAI, www.tunableinduction.com supposedly has the best gains out there. Gains are minimal though. Stay away from MAC I hear, as it leans out the engine.

Errr, are we not allowed to say M0DULARDEPOT ? It's another website on the internet that offers different services and opinions. Why the hell not. This better not be some childish filtering bull****.

professional products are not bad for the price get 75MM tb and the plenum

Both Plenum shootouts on MD used only Accufab TB's. A C&L plenum made 1HP less than the Accufab and is how much less? For 1HP is it really worth buying the Accufab?

And as I said earlier, Accufab's are common to whistle. The thread linked is from MD.

I wouldn't really call those shootout's very precise either. To many unknown variables between dyno-runs to really accurately tell how much of a difference between each one. I am not going to get involved with a debate here.

I happen to like, but don't own the BBK plenum and tb combo that splits the diff between the accufab and the El cheapos in price. Under hood looks is a consideration for me as well and there again I like the BBK setup, although the blingage of the Accufab look excellent as well. Well, either a chip or the plenum/TB combo will end up next on my stang.

i had the accufab 70mm setup, but like already said, stick with the stock intake tube unless you need the bling. my car consistently trapped 1.5-2.0mph quicker with that tb and plenum
