Does single blade throttle body (make-or-break) the HP increases? How necessary is the throttle body in order to get 14+ HP gains from this plenum?

Anthony....I've been told I will get better reaction times if I wear a set of black (match the truck) chuck taylors instead of my cowboy boots. Will you and this plenum stand behind that statement?

Will this new plenum make my azz look fat?

If I race naked while using this plenum, can I expect a reduction in ET before I get arrested?

Exactly how much does this plenum weigh, compared to the stock unit? And will that affect my weight transfer during launch? Do I need to retune my suspension, or can I just adjust my seat?





Sorry, there were some silly questions out, I had to add mine!

If you were referring to mine, you're entitled to your opinion.

I would rather spend the money on items that make a decent difference, than items that just make others rich.

If you're not referring to mine, then disregard.

I think he is referring to all of us with questions.

ported?

Any dynos comparing the C&L to a stock ported intake? Just wondering if there's any benefit to another upgrade...

Hey Guys...I wasn't really refering to anyone in particular. I was more just pointing out that the guy just threw out this new product to us, and we were bombarding him with very specific questions. I'm sure they still have a lot of testing to do. I didn't mean to bust on anyone really. Just lookin' for a laugh!

Ok How about a simple question

Can we get a list of the advantages between this product and the stock plenum ?
Can that all be listed in one place to make it easy to find ??

We can tell it looks different.
But what else is different ?
Do I move all my accessories from my plenum to yours ?
If so then the bumps on the side cant be adding to the power

So what is it about this plenum that is different ?
Where is the magic ?

As I understand it the plenum is just a tube that connects the Throttle body to the top of the supercharger ... What can possibly be done to it to free up 14 hp ....

The fact that a truck had the plenum bolted on and gained 12 hp doesnt mean much ... If 20 trucks bolted them on and on the same day on the same dyno gained an average of 12 hp that would mean more...

Anthony please take a few minutes and put all the details together in one post so we can keep this from becoming a repetitive drawn out thread.

Doug

I would think that this would be a great mod for High Boost applications.

Wouldn't recommend it as a First Mod.(looks cool though)
