Hey Zach,

Did you by chance install and dyno these headers? I'm going to bite, but, I would feel better after looking at another persons dyno results. I wonder if you'll get around 12hp and 15tq.

And how much do you guys think that Injen and Popcharger helped along in the dyno?
Why would a company like Alphaworks claim SO MUCH power...what is the difference?

alpha's dyno was done on a stock z; top speed's was on a modded z; i think this is an example of diminishing returns with more mods.

To be honest, I dont expect to see that great of results due to my other mods. The law of diminishing returns comes into play with mods from what I have heard.

Well, mine will be sitting in the closet for a month or two while I stack up some installation $$$. That should be enough time to getting plenty of testimonials about the pro's and con's of them. From the info on 350Zmotoring, these should be one of the best bang-for-the-buck mods (minus the install) in a while.

I guess for $230.00 you could unload them on ebay and re-coup if the results were bad.
