What did you do with your Z today

Personally I'd probably take the risk on putting in the R2C intakes before installing the Stillen Gen 2. Otherwise I'd do the drop ins for stock placement or G3 style.

Eh... To be honest, I am really happy with the oem boxes. My wix drop-ins are great. Not sure if the $$$ is worth the minimal gains.

It's one of those I'd be happy with or without aftermarket intakes.

Man working all weekend sux LOL. I didn't do my plasti dip due to the wet Friday. I do have everything I need to do it and will get it done Tues. and remove overspray Fri. Thurs. I went to a great cruise, over 500 cars and got to watch the new Planet Of Apes at the drive-in. Although I didn't win a trophy I got alot of looks from people going by. Which is worth more to me. I was in a group of Corvettes and next to a great looking Chevelle Convert. and they didn't even get second looks.

The fact that my side blades touched the grass helped. Even had a lady tell her daughter that my car raised up when driving it was soo low LOL No I don't have air ride.

actually the R2C intakes were great. their while filters breath like crazy too. i had them in the past on my Z and it made the car very responsive. the thing about these intakes is they make the engine pretty loud so that was the only reason i went back to the stock boxes + HPS + K&N drop-ins. then i realized how less responsive my car is now.

hahaha. but it's okay, for now i'll take the quieter redlines.

Nick -- why is there a risk with the R2C? I am curous.

I finished waxing my hood/roof/bumper, after Sears Point. I had more tar ball, rubber, black sh1t all over the place. A couple of paint chips but my acrylic wax helped reduce clean up time. At least an extra hour to take off junk.

Totally worth it. When you get a paint chip at the track it hurts so much less. I do not care actually. It reminds me of how much fun I had.

The only reason I say risk is because as far as the 370z goes there isn't a lot of info on gains(there are some dyno's out there) and the obvious heat soak situation of a short ram on the Z seems to be unconfirmed. So to me it's sort of a shot in the dark that they will show gains like a LT intake or drop ins.

If I knew for sure they showed gains and didn't heat soak I'd be all over them.
