    Best throttle body/plenum?

    Sorry I didnt search it guys, Im at school and they are keepin me runnin like a wild man lol But anyway, I was looking at an accufab 70mm throttle body and plenum. Its an '02 2v with nothing done to it yet, in the future I plan on doin a jlt CAI, underdrive pullies, and a catback, maybe headers way down the road. Is the accufab a pretty good piece as far as quality and power gains or do you think I can do better elsewhere?

    accufab makes super nice stuff although 70mm may be a little big for a stock car, but at least you will be able to grow into it..

    accufab makes the best stuff and 70mm will be fine. a 75 would be too big for the stock.

    i had dragon stuff. i really liked it.

    i still have the plenum if your interested in buying it.

    thats what i have.

    either way your not going to gain/loose to much with a TB/plenum. just but what you can get a good price on

    The Accufab is def the nicest looking of the ones available but i think it only makes about 1-2hp over the other brands. Also, if you find a 75mm for a good price don't be afraid to get it. Some say the 75mm tb is too big for a stock car but it does make a little more power over a 70mm. Just my .02.
