The results are in!
Mothra is heavily modded at this point, an indication that Jason has been working overtime. Wheels are on, but rear brakes are off, due to a fitment issue that arose late yesterday. New wheels in the same style will address this. The suspension pieces from Top Secret are also on with about a 2” drop all around. The catback is also now on, which drew attention up and down the block. We’re in good shape to have her ready for Import Reactor and a tune by Smoky Nagata.
But enough about that. What you asked for is the straight story on intakes, and we are here to deliver:
Stillen G3 CAI: 281hp, 217tq
Top Secret CAI: 286hp, 224tq
We started our testing around 10:00 this morning, Humidity was measured at 58% with an outside temperature of 56 deg on site. By the time it was finished, conditions had changed to 48% humidity with a temp of 66 deg. The shop is mostly enclosed except for the garage 2 garage doors to let the cars in and out, but it is not 100% climate controlled, so everyone will need to keep that in mind. This timing and temperature actually seems to favor the Stillen pulls, if the differences affect this test at all.
The car was driven approximately 25 minutes on two separate trips between the tests (equal to the time it was initially driven to Secret Services). So, the ECU should have adjusted and the warm-up should be very similar.
So, what do you think? We were honestly surprised! Our Stillen G3 will go into another 370Z we’re having tuned by Smoky. We’ll keep the Top Secret one in Mothra.
