my point exactly...the stock tb is good for a while. start with a bigger intake, then MAF then later once you actually need it get the tb. the trickflow upper plenum w/tb added 7-8hp. how is that good for the $400 or so spent?

96 Teal GT: K&N intake Pipe and filter/C&L setup MAF/tornado/SVO TB/Headman Headers/Flowtech Offroad X-Pipe/Eibach Pro Kit racing Springs/Flowmaster American Thunder/Racing Seats...I think thats it.
I've never been to the track, but I raced a guy on the street for a quarter mile and he said I finished it at about 100mph. So I guess 14's?
