What about a plasma booster along with breather and exhaust? will it make a difference as far as performance?

thanks in advance

I heard that they arent good to put on the mach, unless you are running a power adder. The best performance items for the mach are: Cold air, highflow cats/offroad, gears, and dragradials.

I don't mind it.. I did notice a slight difference on how hard the Mach pulls, But for $300 dollars, I would rather have bought a larger MAF or diff throttle body..
I only keep it bc it lights up the engine when I turn it on to show people:D

I have the Plasma Booster and it rocks! I was around when people said MSD was Voodoo till they got here butts kicked at the track. I also have the NGK Iridium plugs and the C&L cold air kit. With these mods I get better mileage and throttle response the engine runs much smoother. Hopefully soon I will have the funds to add a Borala Stinger cat back which should also help. I also plan to add Pauls intake spacer too. These Mach's sure get expensive. Try Rpmoutlet for a good price on the Plasma Booster. Yes if you have a blower or turbo or Nos it will help you even more.:THUMBSUP:

Sure my Bullitt is a 2V, but I also had opted for the plasma booster, and while on the dyno, I pulled with the booster, then took it off, and ran without it. I gained a net of about 2 hp with it on, and not changing any of the parameters. I am n/a with some bolt ons. It is a hunk of junk, and got sold to some other voo doo believer on ebay for what I paid for it. I don't think this is a mod for non-power adder vehicles...just my $0.02.

Here's my dyno results. Same dyno, same day, all runs within 45 minutes of each other, engine hot. Internally-stock 99 Cobra motor with basic bolt-ons. We made two runs with the PB, two runs without the PB. Best of without and with are shown.

NOTE: 6300 - 7000 rpm decrease in blue line (with PB) should probably be discounted, as obviously something else was going on. Bottom line, there is little to no difference with and without the PB.

Draw your own conclusions on whether or not it is worth it. I threw mine in the garbage.

The red line is without the PB. I got there with it hooked up. We made a couple of passes, then disconnected the ground, and made a couple more.

The 6300+ rpm decrease was actually the beginnings of a mass-air meter going sour. It should be ignored, and the blue line (with PB) extrapolated to what it would have been with a good MAF unit....ie....about the same as without the PB.

No, I was not pegging the MAF. The electronics were going bad. The fix was another stock MAF meter.

I hate to say this old Bill but your all wet go lie down you have a fever and have lost your mind. Companies spend many hours developing and testing there products. C&L does extensive dyno work and would not release a product that did not work or was harmful and the same for Ignition solutions. You’re just a guy that has a false sense of reality going on. You have a right to your opinion but that’s all you have and you happen to be dead wrong!:THUMBSUP:
