passman's turbo build
I would agree up to a certain point. But there is no argument that your setup would of made more power with an intake mani and TB upgrade. Not that it's needed, but I don't necessarily think they are a waste. I mean there is a $ to HP ratio you have to look at and ultimate goals (power wise) then decide whether or not that is worth it to you, or needed. For me, there is no way in hell I'd put a stock intake mani and TB on my motor. It would be a huge restriction, and would keep me from my goals ultimately. However, when my car was a 700whp street car, I didn't even consider anything other than stock.
But I definitely agree that they aren't needed on the majority of setups out there.

yup, me and jeff were talking about how intake manifolds and throttle bodies are a waste on this car, this was on 2.5 inch charge pipes too
