I don't know how much of an issue, if at all, but some cars do this on their own.

Hi SS, I have been waiting for you to weigh in as you are a fan of AEM. This really was the point I wanted to make. Each Z has its own personality and from everything I have read pretty much shows that if you get a tune the gains with most CAI are on the upper end of the RPM range and are within a few hp of each other.

I guess if it is about the biggest and best numbers, then be prepared to spend some time and money getting to know your Z...she like a woman. No offense ladies!

The intakes and pulley's were by far best bang for buck improvement I made to the car. Unfortunately, I have to remove both for my twin supercharger upgrade... I have a lot of info my my sig link about it as well. Indeed, these cars do have their own temperments. I'm happy mine worked as well as it did before I decided to do my new project. Nearly every mod I did was never considered the most popular option, some controversial, but my gains definitely show. I made about 50whp over my baseline, I can't complain. Researching is really key, do your homework before opening the wallet. Everyone wants to vouch for a product that works great for them. Cheers to that, spread the word on products that perform.
