Power-adders are normally considered supercharger, turbochargers or nitrous. You're working in the realm of bolt-on. Unhook your battery for 20-minutes so that the computer will forget. Hook-up the battery and let the car idle for 10-minutes so that the computer will learn the new settings.

Wait, i'm no tech, but i've been told that installing such a big t-body with out any forced induction is kind of a waste of money...Common sense tells me it will def help out in some way especially installing a cai with it. And I could very easily be wrong so hopefully somebody who does know for sure will correct me. Just tryin to help you out man and save you some money if i am right.

Yes it is a waste of money...

The TB is to big for N/A...But alot of people run them...You wont notice any gain from it...A 70MM is better suited for a stockish N/A set-up...

Sweet, there ya go. Just get a programmer instead man. It'll bump up the ponys a lil

ChrisJ · November 23rd, 2007, 03:52 PM

A 70MM TB and Plenum would be fine...

I run
Professional Products Plenum ($88 NEW OFF EBAY)
75MM BBK TB ($100 NEW OFF EBAY...But you could get a 70mm instead)

You wouldn't recomend a xscal 2 or diablo over a t-body?

ChrisJ · November 23rd, 2007, 03:56 PM

I mean yeah an XCAL2 would be great but the TB and Plenum are more budget friendly...If he wants a XCAL2 then by all means he should get one...They are well worth it...

True...i'd just save a lil bit of dough and get the programmer first, but your car, your mods...Do it the way you want to man
