Throttle Body and Plenum?

trueblue02GT · May 7th, 2009, 12:32 AM

Is it worth getting? I plan on possibly getting that, a few visual things then saving for a blower. I planned on getting any plenum and a 75mm TB. Will it make a noticable difference? Does it help a lot, i know the stock plenum is really restrictive. Also, what brands? Trickflow and Professional Products are cheaper are they just as good as any other? I know accufab is best but i don't wanna spend $400 lol.

stangsuspension.com click the blowoutsale thing they have an accufab tb for $179. As far as throttle bodies accufab is the only thing id go with. Just bc of all the horror stores of other ones sticking, and for them selling at stangsuspension.com for only $40 or so more than the pp you cant go wrong. As far as the plenum goes just about anything will be fine.

What type of blower are you getting? if it's a twin screw or roots i don't think you need a new accufab/ trick flow plenum.
where will it go???

am i right or wrong?

I won't be getting a twin screw or roots. I'm broke son i'll hopefully get a vortech or procharger

Imran · May 7th, 2009, 12:51 AM

ok. I thought so.

trueblue02GT · May 7th, 2009, 12:52 AM

oh and thank you ajm! i didn't know people had problems with them sticking that must suck lol. guess ill get that throttle body and idk what plenum

ajm · May 7th, 2009, 12:54 AM

Np. I donno who has and who hasnt but if you search around in a few of the usual tb/plenum threads youll see people mentioning that theyve had their bbk and pp stick (not that they all do, but it happens). For the plenum you can find c&l's pretty cheap used. I think someone has one in really good shape on corral.net for $75 on the first page or 2 under the modular class. ad section. All in all theyre pretty much the same though with the accufab being the best by little

does trick flow stick?

jivepepper · May 7th, 2009, 07:43 AM

I was satisfied with my cheap PP setup.

NastyNate · May 7th, 2009, 07:51 AM

i have the bbk 78mm set up(i know it's overkill...but it's cheap

) i like mine no problems with sticking easy install and a huge increase in throttle response

As am I. No sticking either.

I am also satisfied with the $200 I saved over going with Accufab.(And by switching to Geico)

NastyNate · May 7th, 2009, 08:49 AM

LOL

I wonder how much Michael Jackson is making off those commercials.

Trick Tuners · May 7th, 2009, 12:01 PM

I'd save the money for a blower instead. Even with boost i would guess it will increase hp less than 15. Without boost its totally worthless.

NastyNate · May 7th, 2009, 01:01 PM

They just did a 2v bolt on test in MMFF and they used the bbk 78mm and it showed decent gains on the dyno

HBK_2007 · May 7th, 2009, 01:30 PM

i been considering getting the new bbk plenum/tb combo thingy but idk if i wanna use the stock intake when i rebulid my motor. if i go with a different intake (prolly the Trickflow intake) i wont need that part.

Yeah, but i heard it created a terrible lag. Do you have that problem with it?

Bush18 · May 7th, 2009, 04:55 PM

yeh if u really want them and have the money id say get em. its a good mod to have but you wont feel a big difference. throttle response is a lot better imo. but i have the accufab 75 and c&l plenum. so what ever. then when u get a blower, you will already have all the other mods.

NastyNate · May 7th, 2009, 04:57 PM

i love mine and no problems as for the dyno numbers i will look in the mag when i get home and post it
and my bad its 5.0 mag
tourqe went from 241.01 to 248.61
hp went from 216.71 to 223.07
so to me thats worth it
