I think the plenum and TB mod is a good investment.

Yeah, i love all the claims they make for HUGE hp for all those parts. I added a Accufab 75mmTB/plenum, Demolet full CAI system, and got a 93 octane tune from MPH. Guess where most of my power came from? Tim's tune. I went from 236/278 rwhp to 250/290. So without the tune i would say i only got max 5 rwhp from all 3 bolt ons. Tim's tune is worth more than all those parts combined. But I guess every little bit helps, but it will end up all being a waste once i go S/C'd, the only thing i can keep is the TB.

All of the little mods add up. To see good numbers, a cai and tb/plenum is a must.

with my TB/Plenum and a tune I picked up 14 rwhp. but the baseline run i picked up 10, after the tune 4. it's definetly a good investment.

bb1211: you have about the same mods as i do except you have an off road X pipe and i have a catted x pipe and UD pulleys. Our HP numbers are pretty comparable, how do you have so much torque? That's sweet, i wonder what the difference is.
