price and parts list! looks nice.
What did you do about the air breather hose?
I now know why people want a filter that is easy to remove! So much work just to take it off. lol.
while youre here, check your gilmer belt tensioner, it appears the bolt is in backwards.

Well the opening on the blower is 3.5" much bigger than that puny Turbonetics opening .
parts list:
K&N Filter #RC-4630
2 90 degree 3.5" pieces of piping
2 1' straigt 3.5" pieces of piping
1 piece 5" straight piping
2 circular pieces of 5" diameter metal stock (to make caps)
3 3.5" silicon couplers
5 hose clamps
A means to recreate the breather hose on the stock Vortech filter
Price: approx. 100 dollars.
Since the blower sits significantly offset from the stock intake duct you have to offset your intake pipe. This is where the 5" diameter piece of tubing and caps come into play, you cap off both ends of the 5" piece of piping and then cut offset 3.5" holes so that your piping can run into the blower on one side and out the intake duct on the other side. The rest of the job is easy, just fabing up a curved piece of piping by cutting and welding and then trimming away plastic until it all fits
CUxtopher: thanks for the tip, I will inspect it next time I pull the car out of storage.

Haha no dynos here, only one I have is that 366whp run from my original dyno that your were present for I have changed so much since then: 3.12 pulley, spacer, intake, tuning, etc. I am going to try and make it, I live in Fort Lauderdale now but my Z is still in Tampa so it wouldnt be too hard to make it as long as it was on the weekend.
