... if it is the ONLY thing you have, the gains probably aren't worth it but if you start adding P&P UIM and LIM, you'll start to see more and more :)

...what does that have anything to do with a 62mm throttle body???


Anyways, I agree with Kelly. Check out www.donkeypunchperformance.com/store they have P&P upper and lower intakes there for $90 each + core. I'm getting them put on my car soon, I'll let you know how they do. :)
