One thing I call BS on is your statement on page 2 saying "everyone knows the Kinetix manifold is good stuff". I can't ever recall one dyno sheet showing the Kinetix gained anything over the stock intake manifold. More so I'm pretty sure everyone aside from you and your tuner knows the Kinetix causes power losses. But I will say it look purty! lol

Just in my example, my tuner guy he added around 10 % ~ 15% more fuel because when i got installed i couldn't start my engine was too poor, from that point you can see that is getting more air in it than the stock ones. sorry if i'm wrong buy i'm 100% happy with this manifold it looks GOOD for me and it has a good improvement for my Z. But is expensive.......

IMO our mind plays a lot of tricks on our butt dyno when installing new mods. I find it very hard to believe you actually felt anything especially with a kinetix intake manifold. W/ that said I do admire your motivation for tuning and adding power to the Z when where you are located proves it hard to get quality parts for a decent price and a good tune from a knowledgeable tuner.
As for others not feeling the gain in the kinetix that's b/c reputable shops have shown dyno after dyno of it adding no gain and in most cases contributing to a loss of power.

Nice setup! I am sure you already know by having 34/28 cog with the 2.87 your only limit it to so much rpm before you put the s-trim in a unhealthy living condition. Hope it last.
