Default TB & Plenum Gains
Just got done throwing a BBK 70mm throttle body and Trick Flow upper intake plenum on. I was expecting way less of a gain. It was actually decent. Car runs better and smoother as well.

it's definately better than a CAI or catback powerwise. I finally have practically everything to put a Vortech on so I may get it dyno'd after that install or use sniper with a wideband.

I may get a 75mm or just an entire manifold assembly later.

jvog: are you using sniper still or are you switching to SCT when you go down to performance evolution?

Let me know when your going there I will come up I'd like to see what my numbers are and you won't be disapointed with Matt's work.

To the OP you should try to find a 75 mm tb for when you put the blower on.
