RE: BBK or C&L plenum
I just put on the C&L plenum, BBK 75mm TB C&L Pipes, C&L 95mm MAF & another K&N Filter.
I went that route after reading the DYNO results on C&L's webpage.
All I had before that was the K&N Cold air setup.
What do I think???
The TB is well machined.
The Plenum is well cast, the porting is non restrivtive.
The C&L pipe, it's a well made BIG pipe.
The MAF? Yep, it's bigger
K&N Filter? Yep, it's another washable filter
Performance?
The Dyno results look good. I noticed NOTHING in the bottom end. I know I need 4:11's for that.
The top end, I do feel something from 4k on to redline. (but that's NOT where I drive)
Would I do it again? yep! I cant sleep at night knowing there is something beter out there.
What's the best money spent?
Good air filter. Free flow Mufflers. Gears. 13" Brakes. Springs. Shocks/Struts

RE: BBK or C&L plenum
Oh, Sorry, I didnt Dyno it. I was refering to C&L's dyno comparisons on the website.
Intake noise? Hmmm nothing bottom end, I guess It sounds a bit open at WOT.
Sorry, EVERYTHING is quiet compared to my PowerStroke
Someday, prolly after gears, the Stang will beat my 9000lbs F250 4x4 with a 6.0L

That's the MAF that C&L got the best results with. I just bought the Parts they scored the best with.
They have Rear Wheel tests showing 265-290 HP with that setup.

So you have a N/A motor with a 95mm MAF?

N/A Nothing forced yet. Still under the 5 year Warranty.
I can do a few more things. I'll use ford parts on the 13" brake setup.
and prolly paint the Shocks/Struts to the Stock color.
I even put in the Mach 1000 woofers instead of the JL box.
On my F250, I put in a Ford (Audiovox) DVD player in the back for the Kids.
If it breaks, Ford will replace it. Best part is, I got it on eBay for next to nothing.
I would prolly do a bit more to the 03trplWht, but I have the 02SCrew F150 & the 04 F250 Diesel to sink money into.
"If Ford made Motorcycles, I 'd sell my HD's for Fords" Hmmm what if they made boats......

Not by far. On my old motor, me and a bud had the exact same mods except he had the Accufab plenum and Accufab 75mm TB, I had the C&L plenum anf BBK 75 mm TB and we were dead even.
