Hey I was going to buy one of Professional Products throttle body and plenum kits with the polished finish. Does any one have one of these kits on your car? How good do they look? Also 70 or 75 mm. I do plan on using nitrous soon. I will be getting the aluminum intake manifold for the nitrous. Any opinions are greatly apprciated!!! BY the way this is a great site for 4.6s.

I have heard mixed reviews on them. If you want a budget Plenum go with Dragon or C&L... I'm running a full Accufab setup and feel that its the best. Quality and Performance, of course at a much bigger price than what you are looking at.

If you want the non-plastic intake I'd suggest the HPS intake as its similar design to the PP one, but made in america and I haven't seen any one dogging the quality yet.

ive heard of poor quality from professional products. Like a weak return spring or it gets soft over time, also the butterfly sticks sometimes.
Im going Accufab 75mm all the way

I'd go Accufab, I run a BBK/Edelbrock with no problems, but I've heard good things about Accufab.

RPM outlet just came out with a copy of a C&L plenum, they are selling them with BBK TB's for $245, just slightly more than the Professional Products if you are unsure about them.

I've personally never heard of anyone who actually owned a PP tb + plenum have serious problems with it. it comes w/ more hardware than the accufab so it'll work with out extra vacuum nipples since it comes w/ both 96-98 and 99+ sizes. heres mine:

$700?!?! what a fruking rip!

Just port the plenum yourself man. Just as effective, and WAY cheaper. And that money can go toward your n2o set up

Here is a link to the HPS!!

As for plenum and throttle body,you pay for what you get in some respects.
I myself ported the hell out of my upper plenum,and added an intake spacer,and smoothed out the openning and blended the ridge before the throttle blade of the stock throttle body.But i do plan on getting a throttle body,and keep the stock upper,unless i come accross a good deal for the upper plenum.

I did a 70mm Ford Racing TB with a C&L plenum. I have had the setup for almost 2 years and have had absolutley Zero problems. I also like throtle response and upper pull.

I like my BBK 75mm. It's as good a quality as any other I've seen and it won't break the bank. It may not be as visually sexy as the Accufab, but it performs just as well.

PP has hit or miss quality.

Stick with Dragon for a lower cost but excellent quality throttle body or plenum.

Accufab is excellent too, but higher priced.
