10ish to the wheels... ha um maybe 3rwhp 4rwtq for plenum. maybe 2-3rwhp tb depends on the car. Each car is different. Blown cars have been known to make 6-7rwhp from plenum but.. N/A cars usually only make about 3-5 from plenum 1-3 from tb depends.
In other words complete waste of money.

well... you may not get much HP but your throttle response is 5x better AND plenum creates a cool whistling sound like a BOV from a turbo.

A TB and plenum arnt mods you do for power alone. They help your throttle response, theyll help flatten out the power band a bit, and they help support future mods. The more power you make elsewhere, the more your stock stuff becomes a restriction.

Exactly, you will level out your air/fuel mixture and you wont run pig rich and gain a way better throttle response, plus you get that cool whistle sound with a plenum, haha.

How loud is this whistle sound I keep hearing about? And does it sound like a turbo spooling or a BOV? I've never actually heard the whistle before...

Just curious...anyone know exactly what the car makes at the wheels stock? Not a guestimate by taking 85% of 260. But has anyone dynod one stock? Or should i just assume 220-225 is stock WHP?

edit: looked on MM&FF and they already dynod em, about 220ish whp. and 265ish wtq stock. They estimated it to be an 18% loss of HP which would get them to the advertised 260hp at crank and that same 18% made the crank torque equal to 312.
