As a old timer Z guy,I'll start with a apology.
Do not want to insult any other Z owners. But,this is how I see it.
For whatever reason,the intake is the first thing a new Z owner looks to mod after buying
the car.
Guilty-I did the obligatory Pop-Charger on my Z33.
Main thing I see about intakes and/or other go proposed "go fast" stuff is not the numbers. It is HOW the car's response is after you sunk the bucks into same.
For intakes,it will sound "sexy". That sound does not mean more power YOU CAN FEEL.
Trust me,perception is reality. You THINK it is faster. Bottom line,you will be using more fuel...
Intakes are not all that bad of an investment. Keep in mind,they are a component
or,a mix of parts to REALLY give you performance over stock.
Add HFC'S,exhaust etc. Lighter wheels--you'll have something.
Get a proper tune.
It'll feel that the car is "lighter".
Trust me
