Id wait till I get a blowwer if its in the near future so that you can get the adiquate TB. If a blower is on the list of things to get but a bit down the road.....get an 80mm t/b and get a matching C&L plenum. Youll notice a slight difference in hp but the reaction from the pedal is definately a plus.

80 is a little big for a stock motor. just wait till you get the blower, then get the biggest tb you can find. but make sure to get an aftermarket upper intake elbow like he said ^^

or you can buy an accufab upper plenum with the 75mm t/b and call it a day. you can still use this when you get your blower. its the new hottness really though.... have you upgraded the exhuast yet? if not, i would do that first, then get plenum/ t/b setup....

Hey I like the plenum/tb combo from accurab - it is def the best out there, but something about paying $400.00 + for 7 or 8 rwhp just chaps my a$$ :P

better get other mods that give you a better return for your $$ first - especially exhaust mods if your gonna sc

they are claiming 11rwhp on a bone stock gt... still is alot of money for not that much of an increase. it really benefits people with blowers, heads/cams, etc.....

check this out... accufab comes out on top once again.

I said accufab rocks compared to the rest! And Ive seen the accufab claims too and that made me have wet dreams... until I saw people dynoing them and they were still the best, but only 6-7 hp on mildly modded 4.6's though. I still don't have a TB or Plenum, those will be the last things I add.

i like the accufab to but i just saw a artical in mm&ff comparing all the top brand throttle bodies and plenums.TFS showed more hp but a lil less torque than accufab.

i think i will wait till the price drops just a little bit. maybe $100 bucks... i have the c&l upper plenum now, and it gave me a few ponnies. i still think i need more air though.. i am going to start protesting all these companies until they can come out with an intake for the 4.6 that doesn't cost as much as the car itself.
