Admin 3" Long Tube Intakes

The vast majority of the Z community is paying to get their cars tuned regardless of what intakes they buy. So it is in their best interest to buy a powerful intake in preparation for their tuning session. MAF tuning is done when your car is tuned regardless of what intake it has on it. Buy the intakes, have your shop put them on and tune the car, put them on yourself, have your tuner send you a tune, etc. It is up to the customer, they can pick.


It is not the same as paying for a full tune. If I was approached by a client to do the bare minimum to have his car drive on these intakes, I would charge him for just that, not a full blown tune which involves fully optimizing the car's calibration for the intakes and the user's other mods. Like I mentioned before, the practical strategy for many customers is to buy the intakes to finish out their bolt on combination, and get a full tune from their tuner (or myself if they choose) and continue enjoying their car.

The MAF rescaling was only meant for testing purposes to test the intakes on a bone stock car for those who wanted to know what they would do with all OEM restrictions in place.

Agree to disagree, since my intakes don't require large throttle bodies. If a customer is putting parts on their car based on the typical chokepoints of these engines, they would do it most likely like this:

Test pipes/HFCs
Exhaust (and Y pipe if going single exit)
Headers (optional, worthwhile gain regardless)
Intakes (at this point, they'd be ready to tune the car) + tune

So ultimately, they are spending the same for a tune, the same for the exhaust components, and ~$140 more for my intakes as opposed to G3s (assuming G3s still sell for $495).
