Plenums with S/C

I am debating getting the plenums, and I have talked to a couple members who are supercharged and they told me that it doesn't seem like it's worth it, but what kind of gains do you guys think I could get if I ended up getting them?

Well think about this your still going to have those gains or similar at least when your off boost, unless the SC bypass valve size totally jacks up the air volume.

The thing with the SC is that your not always boosting, its dependant on vacuum pressure. It would ideally be nice to not have to sacrifice much daily driveability to get a SC, thinks that we normally associate like colder spark plugs, lower temp thermo stats stuff that during off boost operation don't help too much. THis way if the results are correct then you'll have better crusing fuel economy and better off boost torque.

I think the plenums will help excel the gains of a supercharger. i am not personally a supercharger fan, but the plenums will make more hp on a supercharged application for sure.
