mabey like 15hp and 18tq but not that much..

Honestly people have even lost power with bigger throttle body and plenums on N/A cars. It will serve up a bigger gain on FI applications. Not saying you shouldn't be building a foundation ahead of time though :)
Let me know how you like your new throttle body and plenum though, I found a pretty good deal on those same parts new from a local shop, just holding off until I can get a review of the GMS products

yeah maybe SOME people occasionally. the shop i deal with (put the kenne bell on greg biffles gt500) said he has seen gains with the 75mm tb/plenum even on stockish cars (bolt on). he has been in the business a long time and built many many sick cars..

and op, def. doesn't sound right...not that much of a gain at all. they do help but nowhere near that much. just a few hp and tq IMO
You can make claims all day but until u get it on a dyno there's no way to kno
He did get on a dyno. He posted the graph, but still wtf?
Ooohhh! Idk man just go wit it :p ha
He already had nitrous etc. On a stock car it would have been 5hp
lol can you post the dyno sheet? the car was probably performance tuned after the initial dyno... it'd be hard to believe a n/a mustang would pick up that much whp from just those components
o wait I just checked out the link. the car was definitely performance tuned after the parts were installed, possibly for 93 octane as well.
The tune is where u really see the gains. So I wouldn't doubt those numbers, seems pretty legit
yeah my car gained 35rwhp with cams and intake/tb/plenum

so i'm guessing only about 7-10 for the intake stuff...that was tuned on 93 as well
I still hate u for havin cams :p I'm so jealous mannn.
That's a real nice gain, wats ur car put out on the dyno Biggie?
275

already have longtubes bought (but not installed)...tubular k for christmas and then both will be installed a couple months after christmas. should be somewhere in the 290's. then its enough with all this stuff and a 75-100 shot will be going on. need/want at least low 12's and a 114+ trap lol. will probably be picking up a cheap nitrous kit this week actually...but won't go on till after the longtubes/k member

oh and i bought bandity's udp's lol so that will complete pretty much all the bolt ons
Frickinn nicee dood.
Wats a K Memeber?? Haha newb question
