Seen the 14hp increase but how about a difference in 0-60 & 1/4 mile... any input?
You won't see any changes in 0-60 or 1/4 mile with 5-10hp gains that the k&n's give on the 370z. Most cars in this power range require larger gains in hp to see quantifiable changes in track times. Now if this were a honda civic we were talking about then yeah, 5-10hp would show some changes. The more hp you have as a base, the more it takes to see results. Thats one reason the Nismo with 18 more hp doesn't really put down better numbers than the regular Z (the suspension is the other reason).
