Question about intake setup

[StoplightWarrior]

Since I bought the 96 about a year ago, I was toying with the idea of supercharging it...now, I'm not going to, and I still have all the stock intake stuff in place...it needs to go. I've decided on the C&L intake kit + inlet tube...Should I go ahead and order a Throttle body also? If so, what is a good brand? I'm not as concerned with rwhp gain from the TB as I am with just getting a better throttle response. :coolman:

I have a BBK TB but it was on the car when i bought it so i dont know the difference. It has been said that if your not supercharged the TB is not worth it but i was wondering the same thing about the C&L mass air. I am running the stock mass air right now but I am looking into a C&L mass air and wondering if it is worth it.

I had the C&L 80mm MAF + CAI kit on my 2000 GT (before the blower) and I was very pleased with the results.

i bought my car with a c&l but didnt like it at all. i tried putting a wms intake on the car and everytime i did it would start running extremely lean. i went to the c&l website and found out there maf's are not designed for use with rai/cai. i traded a friend for his stock one and havent had any problems since.

Even with a stock MAF my WMS set up had me running lean. The coated set up was goregous..but pricey. When I do it over, I might go with the JLT.

jlt is the shiznit.

it says that their kits wont work with STBs and that they also might rub the hood...

They don't work with the STB, and rubbing on the hood is very minimal. I got a very small rub, and I would have never noticed it was rubbing if other people didn't point it out.

are you happy with the kit? did you feel any gain?

I am very happy with it. I had the K&N FIPK before, and I definitely felt a SOTP difference over that. Here is a picture of mine.

A TB on a n/a car isn't worth it. I'd spend the 300$ elsewhere. BBK TB are junk. The best one is the accufab TB. But the stock TB flows well enough for n/a purposes. I 2nd the JLT advise. Good intake. Try to stay away from metal cai's. Metal retains heat. -Mark
