New owner want best method to bump HP

ZWay · 09-22-2009, 07:21 PM

I am considering a cold air intake install on my 370Z touring but so far reviews seemed mixed. I read a review about the JWT Dual PoP that says it stalls out coasting at high rpm and it only gets 7-10 hp increase. I don't think it even gets that considering the location its drawing air from under the hood. So what's the story can I get some suggestions from experienced owners? I don't really like taking my baby apart too much unless it's worth it.

I've had my car about 8 months and still watch new stuff coming out. I'm really glad I've waited before getting mod happy. I'm throwing out a big summary that will definitely not be accurate but ball park figures below.

GTM TT done and for sale or SC (in development)

for about $8300 you can add >100WHP and keep the car as a DD
or for about $5000 you can add ~40-50WHP with CAI, HFCs Exhaust, Pulleys and probably a few more things too.

Again the 40-50HP numbers are ball park at best depending on what (and by who) after-market parts are installed.
