They say on the box "For off-road use only." I know a lot of them say that, but I agree with them. The only time I'll use one is if I'm going back to the dry lake bed racing.

1 hp? LOL!!!!!! You do know that there can be anywhere between 2-5 hp variance between dyno pulls right?

K&N's are good, they DO give a little more airflow and you don't have to replace them just clean them. A tuned car with K&N drop ins gains 5-6 hp from just the filters. Not bad.

^^ Just saying I've seen otherwise. I used to use K&Ns all the time. My Formula had one and my Trans Am had one for about 2 years. I switch back to paper and my 1/4 times were just less than 5/100th (if even that) slower, but they were more consistent.

I'll see if I can find my time slips.

Any of you guys ever use a filter mag?? FilterMAG: Magnetic Oil Filters finish the Job Your Filter Started.
Ive always used them on my subarus and plan to use it on the z... just alittle added security to be safe!

I am currently using BOTH of them on the car and I feel quite assured that they are doing their job while I go WOT! :tup:

"Free magnets"! If you have an old obsolete computer, get them off the hard drive. They are very strong, I have two on my oil filter!

WIX Oil Filters

Carquest brand oil filters are made by WIX. I'm not sure on the specific specs of the Carquest oil filter vs a WIX oil filter though. WIX oil filter part no. for the 370Z is 51358 available from WIX or Amsoil.

FYI: WIX pioneered the "spin-on" oil filter a long time ago. :tiphat:
