Default New Throttle Body and Plenum Installed

Put on my new TB and Plenum today. Although there were some minor problems I got it done.

minimal hp, more throttle response than anything.

Looks like a stock painted plenum and an accufab/mac/dragon t/b?

i think ive seen that red plenum on ebay...pretty much a port and polished stock one painted red i think. for those who want to keep the looks of the pony.

quick question...is a port and polish of a stock plenum going to yield just as much throttle response/hp gains as a new plenum?

Some say yes, some say no.

But it would be a matter of 2-5hp tops or so.
