Can you give your opinion here as I am looking into exhaust, HFC, intakes, etc. next.

thanks and apologies in advance if this hijacks the discussion.

To be honest I haven't been around Z cars to much to give you a true professional opinion. We NEED to do some actual Dyno Testing here. Our Shop Z does not have a motor right now as we are in a developmental stage of building a a very efficient turbo setup for the 370z. The biggest thing is looking at Actual dyno graphs. When we did Akbar's 370z we did a full catback and stillen G3 intake and gained 20+ wheels through the entire power band. Moved the entire graph to the left which is amazing.

What can kill an intake is turbulence in the pipe. We are also building a intake kit right now that should work VERY well, more details on that when I have more information.

With the way technology with these cars has rapidly progressed over the last several years I can see it actually not working but I can also see it working. Drop in filters are GREAT and a bang for your buck. Hopefully we can get some testing done soon.
