I think we're trying to be constructive and help Jake out. ;)

My thing is, I would like to see this "data" you are speaking of.
Everything that has been posted on these boards have shown Stillen or Injen intakes are going to show positive gains even with other bolt on modifications.

and im having a 04.5 sense of humor moment :rolleyes:

Kdo did you get your takeda's dyno'd?

^ I will talk to him privately to see if it's okay for him to mention his name or maybe get his data to back it up. As far as I know he's a very respectful person when it comes to our car. But lemme find out exactly what I can do to show this data or not, and yes thanks everyone for the constructive discussion, it definitely helps when you get inputs.

I did the dyno (-2HP).

no because dreamer did and there was no gains according to his dyno so i felt it would be a wasted of money to do...:ugh2:

I seem to recall KillerBee not seeing much gain out of the G3s.

Did you reset the ECU?

Was his the Technosquare ordeal, where they did a base and then full Stillen bolt ons and got 15 rear wheel HP and then Tehcnosquare tuned the car and was showing gains of another 30 rear wheel HP or something?

indeed... please stay away from butt units too...

Yep, Takeda went back and did a dyno themselves with Lou @ Amplified and got a gain of 7HP in the end. The difference was I do close hood dyno runs and they were doing open hood dyno runs. They claim that an open hood on SRI setups are "more realistic" to the air flow, I was not convinced on that though.

Yeah, I think so. And then that other 370 site did an article write-up based on his ordeal making it sound like the G3 intakes don't yield much.

That was an interesting time, nothing really came out of it other than Killer has plenty of power in his Z, which in the end is all that really matters. And he loves his car. :D

Considered a competing blog/forum, I guess. I deleted my post out of respect for AK's wishes.
