Look at the dyno charts, very liitle gain or change in the HP or Torque curves. Real world numbers would be in 1/4 mile times or top speed etc.

You fail to acknowledge that the 370z already comes with a factory tuned cold air intake system.

The other numbers that really count are the ones on a flow bench, connecting the aftermarket CAI system offline to the actual engines heads and measuring the additional air flow, from the intake to the manifold and then to the actual combustion chamber. Comparing the stock to the aftermarket CAI.
That's why I mentioned earlier about drop-ins plus post maf tubes will get close numbers to aftermarket cai becuase the stock system is a cai already. I did look at dyno charts both the manuf. and privately done ones they were similar:
STILLEN 370Z Generation 3 Ultra Long Intake Released! : STILLEN Yes most of the 18 hp gains are up top, but there is a gain still across the board. and if i'm not mistaken, the people running boltons run quicker times than stock per the various discussions on this forum regarding track times.
