It's not really about intake airflow for the 370z, so it misses the point.
Incorrect. The stock system is sealed to the thru ports at the Radiator support. ALL air is ingested from outside the engine bay, just like the Stillens. IAT (intake air temps) run only 8-10 degrees higher than ambient at steady cruise, so the Stock box is pretty well designed to start with..
