Not a Z but close enough.....When I had my G37 , I had every bolt on with the exception of headers (To include PST Carbon driveshaft). The ONLY mod I felt any significant change with was when I swapped pumpkins with a 6MT. Everything else by comparison was more likely mentally based on how much I spent. When I bought my Nismo, I added a Takeda Long Tube, HFC's and an MXP exhaust just to bide time til boost. Even with mild tuning there was'nt so much difference outside of sound and response. Not saying you won't feel anything but don't expect it to feel like a 25 shot hit.

I have the Stillen Gen III intake and I don't feel much of a difference. Honestly, you'll more than likely feel less of an improvement with the Z1 intake. Drivers don't really feel the effects of breathing mods until the cars are up to speed. Even then, unless it's really windy, chances are, not enough air will get sucked into your true CAI (located behind the front bumper and in front of your radiator) to really make a difference. The bottom line is, the 370Z's OEM intake system is efficient enough for a majority of the drivers. The Z1 intake looks great though.
