Alright guys, I am ready for another mod, i was thinking about those plastic CAI i have seen around along with a upper plenum and 75MM TB. with my mods listed below what sort of HP and TQ gain will i see? I have done a full exhaust mod. from headers to catback. Will the plastic CAI do much? Or just get the upper plenum and 75MM TB?

I think you could see 20 rwhp or so considering your current mods. I would go ahead and do them all at once and then get a tune.

damn, 20rwhp, thats not bad. I didn't think it will be that much. But many people are telling me that with the PI upgrade i will benefit from the upperplenum and 75MM TB. What about the CAI, is it worth it? which one to get?

i dunno bout 20 RWHP, i think thats a little much for just the CAI, T/B and plenum. But if you did a tune also. then i would say 20 RWHP would be possible. I have a BBK 70mm t/b & trickflow plenum. for the cost vs. incrase in power i thought it was good. I read the article the MM&FF's did and it looks like they are all close but i think the accufab t/b and plenum got the most HP, by like 1 or so.
As far as your CAI, i have a densecharger. i love it, but since i am going to upgrade my MAF, i think i am going to sell it and go for a C&L CAI kit....

Do you have any links for the densecharger and the C&L CAI? whats the difference?
I would think with those mods and a tune i will get more than 20rwhp. I heard a tune alone can net about 15rwhp
