Default Opinions on CAIs and TBs

Whats your personal opinon on the best CAI for a sohc 4.6?

I see a lot of people with Densechargers, what made those of you who have them go with a densecharger cai?

What are some other setups compatible with a C&L Plenum and 70 mm TB setup?

and...
Instead of starting another thread, what company makes the 70 mm TBs everyone always refers to?

how about the TB, I was just looking around elsewhere and I noticed that Accufab got the most attention.

According to MM&FF after testing all the combos... the 75mm Accufab TB and C&L plenum was the best setup for the GT. That was like three months ago.

oh so it's 75 now, I always saw everyone recommending staying at 70 mm for an NA GT.

Well look at www.CNLperformance.com and read all the tests they did on the plenum and the different size TB's they used and you will see what im talking about.

lol i totally got confused when i saw ur last post and relized it was you 2000si...ur avatar Just changed....

anyway to be on topic :

i was doing a couple of hours of research yesterday and this is what came out to be the best combo:

" the 75mm Accufab TB and C&L plenum for the GT."

so now u have two people telling you. JD knows alot too...im just still learning but i read so many tech articles yesterday ..oh man my head was hurting and this is at least a very decent combo if not the best. take care Si

Now you have three.

I just picked up the 75mm Accufab and the C&L plenum after all my research.

This set up along with the Accufab/Accufab set-up are the only ones reommended to run the 75mmTB, usually 70mm is the most for a NA GT, but these particular set-ups work very well on a NA GT.

Only thing I wasn't crazy about was that the C&L set-up is casted and there is quite abit of slag inside the plenum and it is rough[&:]. But nothing a little polishing won't fix, heck it might even free up a bit more HP

the 70 mm tb will work best without the plenum. but if you do purchase the c&l plenum a bbk 75 mm tb is GREATLY recommended.
