I'm most likely never going to install stillens on my car. The top end performance doesn't justify it for me. My options are drop in or R2C. But, if the R2C is going to cause a loss in power I wouldn't bother.. BUT, if it truly adds to the mid range without losing power in the power band that is awesome. I'm tired of everyone sacrificing low/mid gains for all peak top end. I just wish there were more people discussing the R2C's on Z's.
Im saying more for what the gains are useful for. Top end is useful for dynos and 1/4. Mid range is more important for everyday driving, tracking, canyon runs etc. My only worry with the ram style intakes is i feel like the engine heat kills them and after driving for a few hours you will lose performance.
