Default Need TB/Plenum help

I would like to order my upper plenum today and possibly a TB. I have found a deal on RPM where you get a C&L upper plenum (I want) and a 75mm Acufab or BBK TB. I know the 75mm isn't good for a non-FI car, but will it hinder the performance gains?

Would I be better off purchasing a plenum and 70mm TB seperately?

Any help is appreicated. Kinda undecided for once.

A 75mm is the better choice for a C&L, but for all others 70mm for NA. You would get more hp from another brand plenum and 70mm tb though.

The C&L was designed around a 75mm tb, if you get a C&L you might as well get the 75mm.

Thanks Joe, leaning that way. Now I got to go get rid of the 70mm I just put in the cart. LOL!

Ordered it C&L upper with 75mm Accufab $308 shipped. Now for spring time to come so I can install it!


rpmoutlet.com
mustangtuning.com
partshopper.com
ninosport.com
thunderracing.com

All places I have ordered from. Mustangtuning took the longest, gears were back ordered. Paid 130 for FMS 4.10 shipped now they are easy 180 plus shipping.

There are tons. Depends on what you looking for and how fast do you want it. If you can't find a better price in less then an hour it doesn't matter where you get it from.

I try to order stuff from my area to reduce shipping costs if I have to pay for it.

I got a brand new C&L plenum from my friend yesterday for $120. I installed it yesterday also and it did make a difference. Now im on the lookout for a used 75mm accufab TB.

I love my setup, installed all the induction parts (TB, plenum, MAM, inlet tube) at once, a very noticable gain, couldn't be happier... The C&L plenum is designed to be used w/75mm TB, dyno results show a couple more HP when paird with an accufab TB, but the BBK was a lot cheaper and was only a couple and i mean 2 or 3 hp less. Who feels 3 hp??
