Default Plenum Intake, Throttle Body, TB Spacer

I am looking to do a few things to my slightly modded 1996 mustang gt

What are you guys views on the Plenum, TB and TB Spacer?

What are ones I should look into getting? also is stage3motorsports.com a reliable site? they have the Plenum and Throttle body combos, either dragon or bbk.

I have heard from most people that the spacer is useless....

Yeah, read around on this site and you'll find that the spacers are a waste of money. Leave that one out of it. As for the other things, it depends on what you want to do. What do you ultimately want for the car? Are you planning to go blown or stick with N/A? The bolt ons are nice, but I'd spend the money on a supercharger now and get it out of the way. Then, every bolt on that you do after that will be just that much more horsepower you'll actually feel. If you're not going with a blower, PI swap that bad boy. Put the PI heads, cams and intake on there. It will increase your compression as well as give you 60 extra HP. Real nice if you want to go N/A

+1 ^^^^

Also my opinion of a TB/plenum on a non-pi car is not very high. You will not see as much difference (even if it is not much) as a PI car would with those bolt ons simply because the flow isint as good. Thats just my opinion. If you do decide to get a plenum/TB combo Check out rpmoutlet.com I believe that they have one for 230 bucks.

I had an unfortunate experience with RPMoutlet. I have heard others say the same thing about getting the wrong parts or incomplete kits. I recommend that you read their terms and conditions on their web site and then order from some place else.

Ok so Im thinking PI heads, cams and intakeon there like you said.
Can you point me in the right direction if you know of any ones to buy or watch out for?

Also do you know if they offer a complete kit of the PI stuff?
