I've got nothing against TB / plenum mods - but their dyno proven to only make 6 or 7 rwhp on a mild n/a GT. SUre theirs great deals on TB & plenum mods now because everyone's finally realizing those should be mods best saved for last or not at all if your in a $$ crunch. You'll get 10 - 12 + rwhp for a mid-pipe ($120 for offroad one), 5-6 rwhp for a catback ($250 - $350 for most but you get great sound), Longtubes get 20 rwhp ($350), Pulleys get you 4-5 rwhp for $150, Timing adjustor gets you 7-8 rwhp for $150

all those things are way ahead of $400 for an Accufab tb / plenum that only gets you 7 rwhp.
