you will notice a gain anywhere form 5-15HP i may be wrong....... but you will get more throttle response out of it too

Of all the bolt ons i've done the only time I felt any difference was when I did the throttle body and plenum at the same time. And even then it was minimal.

Click to expand...

If you want to feel your power gains, get some stage 2 heads and VT stage 2 cams.

None of these intake bolt ons are going to give much.. save the money for gears and a tune

Anybody who says they can "notice" 10 rwhp gain is nuts. That's like 4 percent.

well i just did the install a while back , 70mm TB+Plenum.with a 70mm you should feel more gains on an NA car as with a 75mm as all plenum makers claim.
to answer your question, the only thing i really felt , was a better throttle response and maybe a bit more power which you can't really feel . So you wont really feel anything.But the car will feel a bit more awake.good luck with the install if you still plan to do it

Most of it is in your mind. Enjoy it nevertheless. Heck, my car runs better after an oil change!
