I just have a couple of questions for you guys.

I have been doing some research on the intake plenums, C&L and the Accufab, I will also buy the 75mm Throttle Body.
Which one do you guys think is best? Is the Accufab worth the money? And has anyone dynoed with these? I have seen what the manufacturer's claims are, I would just like to see real world gains.


Thank You

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I am going with the accufab with the 70mm throttle body, from what I learned from the dyno tests at modular depot it seems to give more power than the 75mm.
I am getting my car dynoed right after I install the parts. :D

Thanks
 
I have the accufab 75mm combo. My car seemed to respond differently than everyone elses on here. I wasnt impressed with peak #'s... 3hp gain and about 6lb/ft torque gain, but in the lower rpms from around 2500-4750 or so I picked up a good 15hp and over 20lb/ft. I definately felt a huge difference after the install so I expected a nice gain overall. I was ticked when I first saw the #'s and thought my sotp meter had let me down. After the shop laid my previous graph on top of it I could see where my major gains were. Not where I expected the gains to be, but good solid gains none the less.

Looking at midrange and not just peak numbers from www.modulardepot.com 's test by Matt, I'd go Accufab with 70mm Accufab T/B or what I have, Dragon 75mm Plenum with Accufab 75mm T/B.
 
Based on 'that Matt' guy's testing over at MD, I went with the Accufab plenum & 70mm TB and I am very happy. These are the most expensive pieces in the bunch, but the quality is evident.
I'm still kinda surprised at the numbers though, because at 3K+ RPMs the car really wakes up and pulls quite a bit better than before. It was very noticable, after the install, when I hit 3K, but you wouldn't think only 6 RWHP would be.
 
Accufab hands down. By far the best quality and looks over all the others!
