The whole Plenum/TB combo is a waste of money. If money is a concern then you should be using it a little wiser. You will basicly be spending around $100/hp if you go this route and got a CAI as well.. My advice, stick to the effective power mods. Dont waste your time and money on the pretty chrome tube under your hood that gives you .8 rwhp. Good luck, Bryangotchopsticks said:i am concidering purchasing a 75mm accufab tb/plenum setup for my 2002 gt, and i was wondering what else i need to make it more effective. i heard that i need a larger MAF and air tube (dont kno the official name) but i dont want to spend $120+ on a CAI if it wont do anything for performance. any input will be greatly appreciated.
agreed. if i went back i wouldn't:WhiteDevil69 said:Pulleys, headers, mid-pipe, catback/mufflers, gears, tires, suspension work, and supercharger are the only truly worthwhile mods.
Yah, I don't have any experiance with before after sotp or anything, but based on dyno's and proven numbers when going for cost/hp they just dont seem worth it. Cams are debatable, I will do them eventually simply because I will have my family pool up and order them for my b-day in may and I can justify spending the money on the other parts. But $/hp it really isn't worth doing cams when your N/A either. Unless your like me and the rumble of a cammed stang is worth at least 200 of the $525-600 for the camsJonJon said:agreed. if i went back i wouldn't:
MAF, TB/plenum, pulleys

I have Accufab 75mm TB and C&L intake plenum. I dyno'd 255rwhp SAE with the intake stuff, C&L 80mm MAF, catted X, cat back, pulleys. So if 5 speeds average around 225rwhp stock, I gained 30rwhp from almost all the bolt ons.gotchopsticks said:well how about the C & L tb/plenum? those dyno charts show about the same (11hp/15 torque), but they say on a mildly modified gt, like what i will soon have. i was going to go with the 75mm because it was the same price as the 70mm, and i figured might as well go big now in case i need it for the future. it wont do any damage being too big will it? thanks for the info
I want cams, gears, LTs, and drag radials...gotchopsticks said:so what would you suggest, other then a forced induction system, though twin turbos would be nice
remember that a tri-ax or pro 5.0 shifter, 3.73's, headers, and maybe a diablosport tuner are on the horizon. oh and of course a radar scanner
thanks
