What kinda gains are people gettin from that system?

K&N claims 14hp but we all know we can't trust the marketing of the companies that make performance mods. Someone on here had it dyno'd and gained about 6-7hp if I remember correctly.

as long as there is good seal with the heat shields i think you're fine.

you can measure IAT's using scanguage or get one of those BT OBD2 modules + Torque (app) and see. even borrow one from a friend or something for a few hours.

motored the Z for 45min this am before rain started showing up on weatherbug's radar in the vicinity so went home, did some chores. pretty heavy t-stormage right now, but should pass in 15min or so.

tomorrow's suppose to be sunny... i hope.

good luck at sear's point MtTam!

hope you painter's tape the front end and mirrors.

Today is the day! I am going to Sears Point today for the Jim Russel School of racing to get seven hours of instruction and track time in my 370. I've got fresh oil and fresh tires. I am jacked.

In preparation for my incoming (I hope?) shipment of replacement springs, I wrestled the clutch helper spring out today... ended up needing a wrench and hammer as well. And all the parts ended up spilling onto the floor so I have no idea what order they go back in.

I dunno how to describe the difference, other than it's definitely better.

A hammer??? Seriously? Anyway, there is a picture of the assembly on esfourteen's original GB post. Check it out:

Thanks, that'll help when it comes time. And yeah, I didn't have the foresight to tie down the clutch pedal first, so I had to do some very awkward maneuvering down there which necessitated the hammer and wrench. Please don't take that out of context.
