Its worth it if you think its worth it and are happy with what it brings to the table. Of course your not gonna get 35 RWHP like the box/site says but you will gain something.

dont let anybody tell you different, get a tb/plenum, its worth it and itll help you. all the people that say its not worth it are morons, my friend bought a 99 gt BONE STOCK. we installed a tb/plenum, k&n filter, bassani o/r x, 2 chamber flows and he ran a 13.20@108. and he also had nittos & 3.73s.
that alone is why he ran 13.20

Bigger TB/Plenums always help. It's tough to say that its very much worth it, but it helps. When I installed my Accufab 75mm unit (yes, I just felt like I needed to blow 400 bucks, not 500 as stated before), I could feel a stronger pull from the midrange on up. These certainly aren't a waste of money, but you will feel probably the same with any TB/plenum combo.

no kidding. like i said, i got 6RWHP when i added a tb/plenum to a SUPERCHARGED car. yeah, that 6RWHP is definitely the track breaker baby!

the 108 is what im kinda having trouble believing...what track was it at...i know i could never get a time like that at N.E. Dragway they never pre the track i had BFG D/r's and my best ever was a 2.0 60' and thats because my clutch slipped...maybe i should get Nitto's or MT's

if you wanna buy a tb and plenum..buy a professional products kit for $250- they're as good as any other brand...spending $500+ on other brands isn't worth it, huge waste of money
