Tongman....I do appreiate the info that you are bringing to the table...after all we are all here to learn from eah other based on our info and individual experiences.... I too was at one point lead to believe that intakes do not produce significant gains....however based on all that I have read regarding the Stillen G3's I am pretty confident with the numbers that they produce and strongly feel that they are a great performance part.... don't get me wrong...not all intakes produce good results for the Z...for instance the Takeda short intakes as well as other intakes seem to produce little to negative power for the Z....however when talking about the STILLEN G3'S I feel its safe to say that based on what has been said about this part as well as RCZ'S and Semtex's reviews/dynos...its pretty clear cut that these particular intakes produce good results....

You're right about RCZ produing 20whp with his bumper off....but in Semtex's thread he did his dyno with the bumper on and produced 14.7WHP... Also in Semtex and RCZ's threads it was debated about the whole bumper on/off deal and some people posed some good things to consider...such as when you're on a dyno that you are at a stand still...so taking the bumper off and having the fans blow could probably fabricate a real actual driving experience where your car is traveling on the road having wind/air being forced into the grill area...some also pointed out and argued that the amount of wind/air that the fans are blowing into the filters with no bumper on can not duplicate real actual wind/air as compared to when driving on the road and not at a standstill such as a dyno run...of course this is subject to debate and interpretation....but they are both good points to consider...I have found supporting info to prove that other intakes don't produce good numbers...but it seems that Stillen got this product down to produce decent gains....I mean RCZ, Semtex, and ZEliminator got great results and all of them did independent tests/dynos to see whether Stillens claims of Whp gains were in fact true.... I have not found one thread yet that negates with actual proof anything bad about the STILLEN G3'S...

The reason why I started this thread was because as I was conducting research on this particular part I came across a post made by NYBLADEZ on a Stillen G3 thread that was posted by Elia CID..in. which I quoted NYBLADEZ's comment on the opening post of this thread on Page 1....I couldn't figure why he and others felt this way about the Stillen G3's when all the research I did on this forum said and proved otherwise...
