Default just installed a new TB/Plenum combo

Well i just installed by get this $180 total shipped to my door TB/plenum combo. I have a 70mm BBK an d aGMS plenum aka the C&L one with a different name.
only took about 45mins which included me having to move some nitrous parts out of the way and then useing my cut off wheel to mod my WOT swtich for my nitrous cause it no longer worked. Only other probelm was the Tb was used and i guess the guy before me had an idleing problem as he had it turned up high mine was idling around 2k just kicked it down and its great maybe to low i will see once the comp sets in and adjusts its self.

As per performance i am pretty happy pulls harder up top which is what you would expect. I plan to drag race it tomarrow to see if i gained any MPH or dropped any ET with it. I will say i think its a pretty good mod so far, and hopefully i will gain a bit more MPG too would be nice.

VMP is just down the road. Justin there is pretty cool about getting in some dyno time for a fair price i'm sure you you can tune it yourself with a tuner and enough time.

Oh and also I know where to get some Steeda U/D for your 02 I think they are $135 check with me in the morning

check your voltage to your TPS it should be optimum set at 98 volts, stock is 96 +/- 2 volts

Who needs a tune with nitrous... Sounds like a great plan man, you are going to be putting down close to 500 rwtq I bet with that 125 shot.

I put that on when my car was pretty much stock and I noticed a difference after 3000 rpm. It really pulled a lot harder up top. I have the accufab 70mm tb/plenum.

no you want it as close to .99 volts as possible not .98 and regardless you cant adjust this kind they have a metal tube threw the tps so you can drill it bigger and adjust it regardless its fine.

eisen he will be tuning it for me. he has tuned a few of my freinds cars for them with good results.
