Throttle body/plenum combo

[Mnstrstang]

Debating purchasing an accufab throttle body/plenum combo from American muscle. Is it worth it? I have 4.10s bassani o/r x pipe flowmaster cat back cai and a diablo tune. Any thoughts on decent gains and whether or not it's worth the 450$.

1. Yes it's worth it.
2. Not for $450 though.

Go browse the corral for a use set and save yourself like $200 or so.

I wouldnt buy em new personally. The gains arent worth $450. You can pick them up used for dirt cheap all the time. I picked up my Dragon plenum and Pro Products 75mm TB for $100.

I think its a little high also. But you also get what ya pay for, plus i would and will only buy accufab for now on. Might be on the spendy side, but well with it in quality and as well as reliability!

^ I was doing some research and everyone swears by accufab. I just didn't know if a plenum and tb would b worth any gains on an n/a motor

 

[chris91]

Here is a Accufab Plenum for $150 shipped.

Bad ass signed up to corral about that plenum that's a BA price

any 75mm plenum and Tbody combo will do, the flow diff arnt worth the price changes...and nothing porting or polishing couldnt help..but ya, when i had my bolted on 4.6 the 75mm really opened it up in all rpms....i also tried a bbk 78mm 1 piece but it was over kill and lost low end and the gains up end didnt make it worth it at all...

 

[chris91]

I couldnt tell a big difference with my setup. I guess its because of all the work I did at once though.

 

[MustangChris]

its not worth it for that price. Hunt down used ones for sure!

Its also not worth it until you get some heavy mods on there (like full-bolt ons, at least)

at $450.00 you're already halfway to a used supercharger system.... lol.

 

[chris91]

Shit, find me a used supercharger setup for $900 and Ill buy it right now. lol
