Hi Denny! Thanks for taking the time to post. As stated before, we had limited time with the vehicle from Nissan, and with the R&D and testing, we were only able to get individual dynos literally before the car was returned same day.

We have since taken both the intake and exhaust into production, which if anyone is familiar with producing products of these nature means the prototypes are destroyed to create the jigs for producing exacting production parts. This is currently where the part production is at, and we anticipate production parts in 3-4 weeks.

Once we have parts again in hand, we can get them back onto the 370Z and get combination numbers, and your other requests.

We also realize that in this day and age, with some manufacturers taking advantage of posting dynos in their favor, regardless of actual results, that our dyno results on our dyno will inevitably be considered tainted, and look forward to independent dynos to back our claims, just as we had to with the G37.

With all due respect, the differences between a C4 and a 370Z are so numerous, anything but extremely generic points on general automotive theory would apply. We've gone through over 50 variations of this intake on the G37 to produce the gains that the 370Z is also benefiting from. Tube lengths, filter sizes, steps in pipe sizing, all of these variables play into the gains, and have effect on the performance.

We look forward to your, and others independent testing and reviews when these items are released, I'm confident you won't be disappointed.
