Thanks guys. The after market people need more of this. Being the owner of the A/T, this has been my first experience with dyno testing performance add-ons. Here is what I learned. Claims made about performance increases may be accurate, but at a steep price. Also, R&D appears rushed, as pointed out in the article regarding Stillen's CBE varying tube diameter and lack of air flow consideration in the Gen 3 intake. Not to single out Stillen, JWT may need to spend more time with their pop charger intake. Dyno results indicated I paid serious money for no real gain. Am I still in the race for more horse power, you bet, the gains can be felt. Next stop for the A/T is GT Motorsports in Rancho Cucamonga Ca. They have agreed to install the air ducts for the Gen 3 intake. Other modifications I consider will be through recommendations by Tadashi and Richie at Technosquare or Mike Kojima with 370Z.com. While I still respect the after market community, I learned that working with your tuner, reading articles by individuals like Mike Kojima and dyno testing keeps the after market boys honest. Thanks again to 370Z.com for bringing this information to the Z owners.........

Yeah, how do you like the hammering I am getting over your results at the other place.  I have to defend our conservative testing!
