You wont really feel the difference in the seat but you will see a slight difference in the numbers at the track. Best thing to do is just wait on the plenum/throttle body and get the exhaust and othe small bolt-ons mounted. The price/power ratio isnt worth the modification until you get the rest of the bolt ons done first.

RE: throttle body

I got maybe like 3-4...and i lost some low end torque (until the heads and headers).

RE: throttle body
Installing a new TB/plenum is easy to do, but also easy to screw up. When I installed mine I did everything right, except, well, I kinda broke my TPS. Took me a little while to realize what I did, but once I figured it out it was an easy fix. Too bad the damn TPS is a $40 part. If you are replacing stock TB/plenum, I'd say you would definitely notice a difference. If you are all stock, you might as well replace the whole air intake system. I've got a C&L CAI w/85mm MAF, Accufab 75mm TB and plenum....it replaced a stock TB/plenum and a K&N CAI. I definitely noticed a better throttle response, but I have yet to get it on the track and see if there are any real gains. I say go for it, it's "cheap" and easy, but there are better mods out there.

With all the other mods I have (i.e. exhaust) thats what I meant. Now, if your car is still constipated and can not get the gases out then thats another story. How many of you have PI heads porting and polishing in your cars.
