Default Throttle Body & Plenum

Hey guys, i've been lookin on RPMOUTLET.com at some things, and i was interested in gettin a new throttle body and plenum for my 02 gt... buti see there's a bit of a difference in price between the accufab, professional products, C&L, and BBK...

http://www.rpmoutlet.com/newv8ma.htm#3

I'm guessing the accufab is probably gonna be the best, but would i notice a huge difference if everything else is stock? and should I go for the 70mm or 75mm?

The most common answer ull get from ppl is that with no matter what set upyou choose,you wont see that of a difference unlessyou plan on doing major mods. So basically it comes down to how much you want to shell out for it...

If you plan on doing a bunch of mods get the accufab, but if you just want to have an upgrade from stock, the bbk would be nice. In either case id get the 75 mm...

what he said but also know that the combo will give you a small HP/TQ increase but the main difference you will be able to notice is your throttle responce.

I got the accufab 74mm and have no complaints. Every little amount of power counts, so I try to get the most out of each part. Its a little more money but when you see the quality, you'll understand.
