how much is an uprev tune there? ive been tinkering with the idea..but not entirely sure how it works. do you have to buy the 500 dollar module from uprev and then pay someone 500 to tune it?!

My UpRev was $550 and the only thing I needed to bring was my Z. You don't have to buy anything else. They use a laptop and upload stuff into your ecu and you use your cruise control buttons to flip thru the various maps that the tuner sets up for you.

I think I'm paying 600 bucks. Call rob at Z car garage for info. He is a pretty good guy, gets great reviews on this site and seems waaaay knowledgable.

i drive with the window down in the cooler months so i need it to withstand at least 55mph.

sounds like fun, surf!

..but, uh.... why pop chargers?

I know the stockers are pretty good, but I like being able to clean my own filters when I do oil changes. Also I don't want to have to pull off my bumper to get to them. It's half (almost negligible) performance gain, and half ease of maintenance I guess.

i speak from experience running that intake long time ago, but that kit runs pretty hot vs the stock system or similar systems such as R2C. the heatsheilds are not very effective, dont fit right in the 370Z unless forced, as they were made for the G37's.

Get the K&N Typhoon, I like mine very much so far, the gain on performance is decent...

Thanks for asking! Feeling better, just not 100% yet. I'm just re-introducing my body to solid food today.
That bug was brutal!
