I want to get a C&L Performance Plenum and Accufab 75mm Throttle Body. Do I need to do anything special after the install? Would I see a gain with the plenum and throttle body? Future plans are VT Stage 1, MRT-H, 3.73s or 4.10gears and a dyno tune.
there is a shootout on some website and the car they used had longtubes, midpipe, catback, CAI, tune, and gears and the biggest gain they got w/ a 75mm was something like 7whp and 4wtq, its a crappy return for the money you are putting into it i think the money would be better spent on a Typhoon intake as its going to cost just a LITTLE more and will give you closer to 25-30hp on a stock motor.
I put it on mine and you do feel the difference. Its not much but you'll notice it. I didn't do anything special to it afterwards. So my guess is no just install it normally and call it a day.
look on ebay for the plenum/TB. i found a 70mm TB and C&L for pretty cheap (cant remember exactly). theres a guy who portrs/polishes them and sells them for cheap. thats where i got mine from.

I was looking at the Typhoon intake manifold a few weeks back. 25+hp gain and over a 21 lb/torque gain sounds nice. In the mustangs unlimited catalog there is another one next to the Typhoon. It looks the same but is made of plastic, its just called, P.I Intake Manifold and is $199 compared to the Typhoons $529, do you guys think that would have a nice hp increase?
With stage 2 heads, cams, and bolt ons the Typhoon intake only produced 15rwhp at 6200 but only 10rwhp at 6000. for more details see the 5.0 Mustang mag May of 2006.
