your planned purchase of a plenum is worthless...a KB replaces all of that

if the motor doesn't consume anything and hasn't been beat too badly, 6psi can't hurt anymore than anything else

an 03 motor for the price of a KB installed and running/tuned? try again...

You have to ditch the pulleys, tb and intake, the plenum can't be used either with the KB unit, I just bought the same one, not installed yet.

No you dont, you can use an aftermarket throttle body or CAI with a KB. A KB doesnt replace the intake tube like a centri.

You can use the TB, but ditch the pulleys and the plenum. The KB does replace the intake manifold, but the intake tube can be aftermarket. Although you may find that the KB big tube kit or stock will probably be the best choice.

You are right, you can use the tb, and when he said intake I figured he was talking about the intake manifold. Brain slip, as I have the same unit.
