next to none if you dont have supporting mods. TB'a are pointless unless you have cams or FI. They dont really add HP, its more of a supporting mod for cams and a bigger intake. Unless your car needs more air flow you will be lucky to get 5 rwhp out of it.

+1

fyi, thats the new bbk t/b plenum combo if you didn't know. suppose to net results just like the accufab, but cheaper.

i could see maybe 5rwhp on a full bolt on/tuned car. maybe 10-13rwhp on a head/cammed car, and maybe 20 on a supercharged application. i really wouldn't run that unless u had nitrous or some sort or forced induction.... lil too big....

Not Worth it for the $ to Hp ratio.

I hear its only good for Boosted Apps.

A Throttle body/Plenum combo dont give you crazy power for the money.Unless you buy accufab

A PP 75mm Tbody is pretty nice for around $100 and i got my 75mm MAC Plenum for $60.So if you take the time to shop around you can get somthing just as nice for alot less.

Just my $.02

yea, like 3-4 on an unswapped car......

if you want to get some real gain's consider doing the PI Swap, or in the very least, PI/NPI intake manifold swap.

or perhaps a set of 3.73's or 4.10's. anything short of those things and u ain't really gonna feel squat

On this thread jacked topic ...

I noticed that the stock air breather on our car is inside the motor bay. But that is only where the air filter is, it actually pulls air from outside the fender wall.

I know that everyone swears by a CAI, but are they really worth the money. We almost have one stock, right?

Stock 1's honestly arent really that bad. The biggest power downers for are cars are the intake manifold and heads. Everything else is pretty top grade when you think about it.

Looks to be a sleeper when you open the hood and it all looks stock, but wait! little do they know........ so where do they get these numbers +15 hp or what have you when you add anything to the intake side?
