Im pretty sure Accufab gives maybe 1-2more hp over other but its also the most exspensive, i think im going to get the new BBK combo.

From what ive read, the accufab plenum and c&l tb will give you the most.

Go with the cheapest.

You do realize 1-2hp means nothing at all, right? Changing your oil can give you 1-2hp. Why spend $400+ on an accufab combo when you can see similar gains for.... Well, I did it for $180. But let's say $230. And you really won't feel much other than throttle response anyways.

i'll give you the most reliable source on the web you can find about this subject, myself. i got the c&l plenum and 75mm t/b and picked up 16rwhp and 20rwtq. and that was without a tune. i had it for about a month and decided to get it dynoed and check out my a/f ratio and what gains i made. before the t/b plenum i was making 238/280. after 254/302, and my a/f was just slightly off and with three runs i only i didn't pick up any more hp, but got my a/f right on the dot. don't spend all your money on accufab. in my opinion there all the same. i don't know if you have a CAI but thats gonna play a big part in your gains.

Your power probably came from the a/f ratio, not the parts themselves.

true, but my point is all the plenums and tb's are basically the same. no sense in spending $400. i bought mine used for $250. but i definetly think it's a worthwhile mod.

I bought my BBK TB and C&L Plenum setup used for $150 from my friend....I noticed a little power difference....but like Acer said, its mostly the throttle pedal stiffness and response that you will notice.

MM&FF did a test on these and the Accufab t/b and plenum came out on top. I will be spending 400.00 for this soon.
