Default Pullies or TB

Im going to add an intake plenum and want to either add steeda pullies or a 70mm tb. Which would I benefit more from ?

TB. Pullies are a waste of money. So get the tb/plenum combo and call it a day.

Neither one is really going to get you much gain. I put a 78mm combo tb/plenum on my car and it's not bad. Makes a sweet sound when you crack the throttle from idle.

I have both, and as far as performance goes, they're both similar.

Neither, both are waste of money. Skip the cheap bolt on's and save up for FI or go with spray.

Get the TB. Don't get pullies if you ever plan on forced induction.

1. Dont get the pullies if you plan to supercharge it.

2. If you plan to get both anyways eventually, save the hassle and do the TB now with the plenum.

I got myself a package deal. C&L intake,BBK TB and Plenum. Im going to be staying NA, with cams.
