dont waste your money on a TB/plenum, not worth the money unless you go blown or some sort of FI. IMHO. I had them both on my 03GT a complete waste of money.

Some may dissagree with me and thats totally ok, just dont call me an idiot or anything.
I thought there was a dyno comparison between the different ones and they all showed around 8 to 10 RWH increase.... at least quicker throtle(sp?) response

Those are advertised gains. And if you look at the comparisons done in mags like MM&FF, most all the test engines were ran with LT's. So, unless he gets them in tandem with LT's, he won't see any real gains. Plus, like 03SilverGT said, the TB/plenum upgrade won't see full potential unless he is running some kind of forced induction.

Well lad, you need to re-adjust the antimatter flow going into the dilithium chrystal chamber. It also sounds like you dilithium chrystals may be out of alignment. I'm givin' ya all shes got, I canny give ya any more!!! [sm=trust_me.gif]

Had a Scotty moment, sorry. If you are going to go with a S/C in the future, why not go ahead and get the TB/plenum. Many have said that that will give you a few horses and increase you throttle response. I can't attest to that YET, my plenum/TB combo is on the UPS truck for delivery today. WOOHOO!!

How what goes? Realigning the dilithium chrystals or the plenum/TB results. j/k They just delivered the combo but my wife has my car today. It'll probably be a couple of days before I'll know the difference. My son has minor surgery scheduled tomorrow so I won't be able to get in installed AND test driven until Thursday. [sm=smiley6.gif]

if you do get gears from what I understand you will need a new speedometer gear... The tuner will not readjust your speedometer, because your car is old...

When you have 4.10's is first gear good for normal driving or do you start in second? I want 4.10s but im affraid that first gear will praticly be useless and run out quickly besides racing...
