getting a few bolt ons
 
looking at gettin a 70mm mac throttlebody along with the AM short ram air, and intake spacer, just wanting to add a little underhood look and maybe gain a few horsepower, any comments??? getting all 3 items for like 200 bucks so i cant see how it would be a waste of money lol

Don't expect much. maybe just better throttle response with the larger throttle body. I would go with full exhaust and a custom dyno tune. If you wan't some real ponie's you need to step up to heads and cams but that isn't going to be cheap.

yeah already have full exhaust just got that last week, have not updated my sig or anything in a while lol, but yeah im not expecting much power gain really, but something would be nice, ill be getting a handheld tuner here soon so that should help out everything

If you want to get any kind of gain from a throttle body, then you need to do a plenum and throttle body combo.

Skip the spacer they do nothing at all. Well they do drain your wallet for you.

If you must get a cold air intake, then get one that does not have a bend before the MAF. So basically any of the fender well cold air kits I would advise against those.

I'd advise saving your money on bolt ons and go to gears or FI.

yeah I am getting the AM short ram air, so it is not a fenderwell cai, and yeah sorry i need to update my sig ive already done gears as well 3.73s did those last month very very pleased with them, but now just wanting to do some bolt ons b/c i dont plan on ever goin FI

I may look into getting a throttle body and plenum combo, just by the looks of it the tb is more restricting than the plenum, but i figured doing the cai along with tb and spacer i would at least notice some difference lol

Trust us those spacers are a waste of money.
