Can't wait to see the results.
Just another monkey wrench to throw into the works; won't the car's ECU over time correct for the increased air flow and negate the added power? I'm really asking because I don't know. I know nothing about cars, it's just something I heard when I was buying my JWT Popcharger.

This is actually getting interesting...and I thought this was going to be another eBay Turbonator deal.
BTW, nice site AFE (whether or not your stuff works, the sites clean, for that matter, your intake is clean looking too)

Not to bag on AFE but At work today I saw an even funnier CAI manufactor.
ITs called vortec and they had CAI floating around and claimed up to 95 hp if you install the CAI.

These super mod negating ECU stories float around on every car board. Frankly some folks just endow the modern day ECU's with super magical powers they don't have.
They are just a computer with a program running in them that controls certain functions within pre-set parameters. Change the program, fix the limitations.

Well considering the dyno it was done on even being there might not prove anything. Mustang dynos can be manipulated to produce HUGE number variances like this. Since the Mustang dyno is a load based dyno and is also a weight sensitive dyno putting in a lighter vehicle weight on the second run (post install) can produce this kind of "gain". Its been done before. I went to a dyno that used to be in Oceanside and ran my stock car (SE-R at the time) and put down 143 FWHP and 152 ft/lb Tq. Changing the weight to 500 lbs lighter on the dyno input yielded me 153 FWPH and 160 ft/lb tq. You see the dyno calculates its load factor to the rollers by vehicle weight (Mustang dynos that is). So unless this gets done on a Dyno jet where you don't have the ability to easily modify the output like that this test is bogus. If you REALLY want to prove your intake worthwhile you give it to a 3rd Party for testing and have them do a baseline Dynojet run install intake and do one right after. Until then we can all call
Oh and guess what:

My manager is in contact with shipping a kit out to an individual from this board to do a full review on the Intake System. He promised to have dyno numbers and pictures to share. That should be done soon! I would also like to invite someone from this board (preferably with a stock 350Z) to schedule a day they could come down , throw a kit on, Dyno there car and see the results. If you would like to nominate a member and he or she is interested, PLease PM me and I will schedule a date to have this done.

Well, sounds good to me. This is most exciting, most exciting indeed!
We will either have a new item with a great increase in performance for a bolt on or we will have a new kid on the block to beat down. Either way, someone gets
Personally, i am rooting for AFE

By the way AFE, you're showing a great bit of professionalism. Thumbs up to you...even if you're product doesn't do what you say it does. You've at least got *****.

Well I wanted an intake for my Z, so I decided to get one of these. I don't think I will go to the expense of a dyno, but I will post the results of the old butt dyno. I got it from an Ebay vendor for $385. I figured that with a retail of $571 and a generally discounted price of $430, the price wasn't so bad and includes shipping.
We'll see how it goes.

Sorry guys forgot about this post. Your right Dynos make a big difference. legit dynos also. My SE-R days i had 400HP monster 200sx and dynoed a dynopack that yeilded 475 but back on our dynometer it produced 424 anyway you guy still ready for a test.... id like to see what happends..... wouldnt you? I do highly doubt it will push that much but im a skeptic. Anyway im still able to do a dyno. Ill pick up your intake and take it down to my best friend Chris Allen at Mossy and go dyno it on sunday at our dynojet dyno. Im local ill come by and pick it up today at that discounted price.....
