Anyone out there put a C&L, Accufab, or other upper intake plenum on a mostly stock GT without upgrading the throttle body? How much of a gain can I expect? I will do both eventually, but being married and with a kid on the way I just have to do these things in stages . . . ! If it's not worth doing piecemeal I may just have to save up and do both at the same time . . .

As you can see from my sig, all I have is a K&N FIPK and mufflers so far.

I'm in the same boat with you! the gains will be very minimal, you won't notice the gains at all, atleast I didn't...so, save up and do both together...that's what I did...
together you'll likely gain 7-12 hp over stock....

I put mine on a stock motor except for the K&N Filter. Kept the stock TB. When I put on my X-Pipe I lost some low end power and could hardly spin second. When I put on my C&L Plenum I can really spin second now and bark third sometimes with a stock rearend. I really can tell a differnece with the new plenum.
