i wouldnt say a big difference because the stock heads is where the largest restriction is. but you will notice a little bit.

what are your goals for the car, so we can actually help?

I added a typhoon intake, 70mm tb, and CAI all at the same time, went to the track and ran .12 faster and gained 1.56 mph, not gonna notice that unless your at the track.

I bumped the timing and added an ele. fan, and went back to the track a month later and knocked off .32 sec and gained 1.19 mph

when you dont need more air, more air does nothing. expect a 5 hp increase but probably based on less vac leaks than b4. you have a 70 maf..... what tb ?

at this point, save for heads, get some mickeys if you do not, or spray it
