Default Intake Plenum Help

Iam looking at different intake plenum and am currently looking at the Professional Products Satin Upper or Dragon 96-04 Mustang High Flow Intake Plenum. I have already a BBK 70mm t/b. My question is what is the difference between the two? Should I add a plenum? Is there a better model out there... in reference that I don't want to spend more than about $180. Let me know please.

The upper plenum is the weak point in the intake, if you are only doing one because of budget (been there, believe me...) the plenum should be the first mod,,,

I would change your intke manifold to an aluminum manifold first then work on your TB and Plenum.

why is that, from what i understand the stocker is fine until there is some good boost or spray to crack it, in fact i have head you may loose power from the change.

I had a conversation a while back with a trickflow rep who swears up and down that pro products is a cheap knockoff and there is no comparison. He said the lack of quality control where pro-products are made is what makes them so poor of a product. But I didn't care much since trickflow was inexpensive and I liked the looks too.
