My GTR start button showed a difference in my "butt dyno" too. And stickers. Stickers increase WHP according to the "butt-dyno".

^^ When I want to go bathroom badly, my car always feels day and night different according to my butt dyno no joke! It's like my car is turbo charged suddenly...

Yep it is noticeable to me. I installed ART pipes and CBE and then added the drop ins. What I notice is better acceleration and responsiveness. Not sure if there is horsepower gains that are noticeable. I will be getting an UpRev tune at the end of the month and I am curious to see how my numbers match with those who have aftermarket CAI. I think it should be within 5 whp of most with the same setup and a CAI.

I 'just' ran across a thread of listing dyno results showing K&N drop ins actually giving a couple HP and some torque. Not as much as Gen3 long tubes or anything, but it's an upgrade from the paper filters.

Jumped my History and found the page.

Enjoy the read. I did.

Thanks for posting, I'm hoping for similar gains. I will be adding Z1 silicon mas-flow intake tubes and a Stillen light weight pulley before my tune! Good times and great start to 2013.

i put mine in after having the car about 6 weeks (?) and had not really even gotten used to the full power yet, let alone feeling more....

When I was out today , I saw a guy in a BRZ...We get to the red light and there is no one around..

He is looking all nervous and won't look at me.. When he finally does, I give him a thumbs up because the car looked cool and I don't see many of them.. I shocked the heck out of the guy and he just smiled ear to ear.

And because we were on the streets in my town and racing is illegal, I just cruised off the light and went on my merry way.. No Racing..

Truth be,the 370Z Sport/Touring looked way better and beefier, and I wasn't worried about him beating me, but it was more about just letting him know his car was cool....not 370Z cool, but stilll cool...

Took a 100 mile round trip drive to St. Pete to show my mom my Z. Took her for a ride down 275. Got a big

from her, but she says the car is to low for senior citizens.
