Default BBK or Dragon Plenum?

got a question for everyone. i have read all the posts about plenums and obviously there isnt much difference. So im about to buy mine soon and i am kind ofstuck between these three combos and i just curious if i can get some advice on which route to go. They are the C&L plenum with a bbk 70 throttle body for $340 or the Dragon Plenum with 75 throttle body for $389 or the BBk plenum and 75 throttle body for $312. Just looking for a quick, easy, no chance of making the car whine set-up (money is no option.) and do i really need a 75 would a 70 throttle body be more efficient? thanks everyone

ive heard its not worth the money...no clue your situation or whats in your car but im guessing your cars stock if you dont have a t/b so why dont you keep the 300 and go for something that makes a difference like gears or suspension or a short thrower

if moneys really not an issue get a s/c

i have gears and a fair share of work done to my ride, im just curious what people would recommend. i dont want a accufab. i know there nice but everyone i know has one. i just want something comparable that is a little different from all my friends, but i also dont want something that whines or is just a inferior product.

those are good upgrades and will help as you add a supercharger or a stroker with heads and cams,but will not gain much on stock motor. i have the typhoon lower/ upper plenum/75 t/b from professional products is a good cheep combo that makes about 15 to 20 hpwith stock.the dragon is better for supercharged motors and the 70 t/b will be good for now i would go with the bbk.i would also get a hand held programmer specedfor whatcombo u pick or you may run lean and have trouble codes.orthere are many good combos out there.good luck in you quest
