Your exactly right. I have Stillens too and everytime I race someone with a shortram intake I outrun them by at least two or three car lengths or at least on the dyno I do

i'm thinking that the way i have my car set up so far should give these intakes some edge oppose to them being installed on a normal 370z, i have the mines air scoops, which should allow cold air directly into the intakes, and seibon TS hood, which should allow the hot air out of the engine bay, not saying it will totally eliminate the hot air but it should help out a bit.

I'm sure these aren't going to make much of a difference in terms of power compared to other short ram intake designs. Top Secret, you're paying for the name, bragging rights, and aesthetics. Those are beautiful pipes though!
