Im bypassing reading the whole thread, but I had JWT Short ram intakes and made 0 hp gain. Then I put on stillen G3's and picked up about 17hp and it made more power everywhere, not just top end.

Get the stillen and call it a day. On special right now at $500 shipped.

Stillen G3 hands down. Don't knock it until you try it!

They're all pink on the inside, but personally the Asians out perform the rest.

....intake analogy ;-)

Haven't heard anybody mention the K&N 69-Series Typhoon Short Ram Intakes? has anybody out there tried them, any significant difference in HP and tQ than stock or vs. HPS MAF tubes with K&N drop ins?

for what it's worth, I remember seeing someone on this board claiming that with the K&N short ram they netted about 6 whp on a dyno but I can't remember who said that. That's basically what you can expect to get from drop ins and the tubes so i'd save the money and go with the latter.

Awesome,
I'll go with the HPS and drop ins, thank FL, Now I just hope their in stock, reading in the other thread that people have been having problem stocking them because of the demand.
I dont mind waiting, I have to wait for my FI TDX CBE for a while too. cant wait until that one gets here.

evo - 145.5hp per liter =p

I'll have info on this tomorrow

, I have ZI tubes, Drop ins and a custom cold air feeding the stock boxes from the radiator support. I have a dyno tomorrow am .
Also HFC's and catback and 3rd revision of my Etuene, I'll have logs of my tune also. The whole project cost me $200. An only that much because I bought CF Saleen brake ducts for the air scoops

I dynode my Stillen G3 before and after.
it was the only bolt on the car. base line was 264, with the intake 284 rwhp SAE.
did it with out tuning the car.

I got one run in on the HW 3rd gear , Do you know what the MAFgm readings are for the GEN 3's from 2500-7k. Looking to compare them. Mine started at 11.63 and jumped to 121.9 by 3k and topped out at 268. )@ 5984.( max I think as nothing higher as it stayed there all the way till redline . Not sure how these compare.

The data logs on my Ecutec tuned completely stock 2013 z show the 121g/s at 3200 rpm and peak 268 g/s at 6200 rpm to redline. It appears that your intake mods allow more air flow at a given rpm until the max limit is reached at 268 g/s.

I would bet that the 268g/s peak flow would increase if you added high flow cats and/or catback exhaust.

Whoops, I see you do have Hi flow cats. Scratch the previous statement. Has anyone else seen a g/sec greater than 268 on their data logs?
