Anyone have the stillen g3 intake? I have it and had to take my Z in cuz I wasn't getting any power while on the gas. Guy says it might be the intake causing the problem. Says its something about too much air getting into the fuel or something like that. Any ideas?

Probably a leak in the system AFTER the MAF. Like Steve said, check connections.

Also, what "guy" - an actual mechanic? What's his basis?

Pull them off, put your factory stuff back on, and check it and see if your power is back. Then reinstall your stillen g3 and recheck. (thats what i would do)

If you want the problem resolved completely, take it to AAM Competition. They will "hook you up" correctly the first time. You will not be disappointed
and will walk up with a smile but with a lighter wallet!! LOL

Yes, that is where I got my tune done from 2 years ago. It was like $500-600 from what I remember.

I think their going rate is around $700 for a tune. Fixing the intakes will probably run you $100-150 at least. Maybe more.

They do tunes. I have had my car dynoed there twice. The last time, it was at 324 RWP.

It's higher now with the last exhaust work that was done. If you are interested, give them a call and tell Marken that I sent you. His email address
is markenS@aamcompetition.com His full name is Marken Smith. He will lookout for you! Trust me, you will feel the results!
