C&L intake Plenum
Im thinking about buying a new intake plenum from C&L from a friend for $140. I have a few questions.
1. Is this a good cost?
2. Will it work with my stock TB?
3. What gains could I expect with just a plenum upgrade without the TB?

RE: C&L intake Plenum
can someone please answer his post... im wondering the same thing, would it be too much of a jump to gain? would you lose HP if adding the plenum too soon on a stock motor? do you need to get the massair and TB also to get any gain?

I have seen the plenum swaps for 7-10 hp, and then a 75mm T/B only gaining 2-3 more rwhp. The throttle body does not appear to be a large restriction on a bolt ons only motor.
