Default Dragon TB/Plenums combos

Anyone out there have anything from Dragon Performance Parts? I just went to their website and saw that they have a TB/Plenum combo that has a huge monoblad throttle body and thought i would come ask for some opinions on their products and i was gonna ask y'all about your opinions on running the monoblade TB/plenum on my car. Just thinking. i know its too much for me right now, but with the future of possible h/c/i or supercharger, i have the funds now-ish to do it, why not right??? Here's a link to it...

$500?!?!?!


Damn. Nanaki added an accufab TB/Plenum on his built and blown stang and only got like 7rwhp and 10rwtq or something like that... not worth it considering his numbers were EXTREME with his stang.. (anybody know if he was pushing 600+ hp or was it around 750-800? i think it was around 800 but someone correct me)

on a side note. I've never heard of that company. Sounds annoying that you have to use 99/01 cobra or 03/04 mach 1 piping or w/e the thing said since the TB is oval

I'm not sure if you've seen this article before. It may or may not help you decide.

Especially when BBK has 78mm throttle body with a plenum built in for 250. And its super nice, I have one.

I wouldnt be able to justify the extra money to get the dragon rather then a c&l or a bbk when they are just as good if not better

Well considering that the guys with termies over on SVTP use the dragon plenums and stuff with some decent gains tells me that their stuff isnt just a bad imitation. I mean they are pretty much all mostly the exact same...right???

Its like buying regular carwash, or buying the best soap that McGuire sells... either way who can tell the difference? they both are soap and do the same thing

(if you say something like "yeah but mcguires has added product to promote shine and help protect your clear coat, etc, etc" im gonna slap you,haha. you get the point Im making)
