it depends on how big of a shot you are gonna go with. i am only going with a 75 or 100 so there really is no need to go wet. my performance shop told me that if i were going in excess of 150, then wet is definately the safe way to go but anything less is just spending extra money

someone posted in another thread they gained about 3 hp from plasma booster ignition, but they thought that number would go higher if more mods were added to the mix.

Rpm Outlet has the BBK TB available now. I want one but I'm wondering what I will need to do to my tune to make it work? Besides dyno tuning (going to wait untill I get the pulleys installed by the shop) does anyone have any ideas?

What SC are you getting? When I can afford one I will go with the Saleen which looks like I'll be able to use my intake and a TB since it sits in the same spot as the intake plenum. It also uses a low boost but generates some good reliable power. I havn't done much research because with my wife starting school full time in August, it will be a while before I can think about getting one.

Here is the same product a lil cheaper. I talked with BBK and they said that the TB does not require a tune, it is truly a bolt on 10-12 horses.

YEs, I will be buying this very soon and it will be my first performance mod to my car. [sm=bounceybounce.gif]
