Added my Accufab Plenum and 70mm throttle body tonight.
Took me about 2 hours as I`m no mechanic and wanted to double check everything and make sure I done everything right. Attaching the rubber air pipe from the filter housing to the new TB was a right ba$tard. Tight as ducks chuff!
Anyway. I had taken the car out a good run prior and when I was all done, started the car up to check there was no leaks and it idled fine.
Spot on. Slow test drive then a the same run as earlier. I`ve never been a fan of `bolt on` stuff on N/A cars as they offer very little for the cash in terms of anything really. The Diablosport Predator 93 tune was a crock of $hit and I noticed virtually nothing although it did make the auto box shift better but...........
I can honestly say, hand on heart that the car now has a much improved throttle response. Before there was that `lag` before it pulled. All the stock (ish)modular sn95 4.6s seem to have that notorious lack of `low end grunt` when compared to the 5.0. BUT, they more than make up for it higher up the rev range. I haven`t had it at WOT yet I`ll save that for another day but low down response is definately better and its a noticeable difference in the way the car feels, so its a result.
Whether its worth the cash is debatable dependant on the individual but I`m well happy with my purchase.
Oh, and it`s shiny :thumbsup:
