Default my Z feels faster after I cleaned my pop charger...

i got lazy and didn't clean it for more than 10k miles, so last weekend i felt a sense of urgency and took it out for a deep clean...after it's all done i took it for a wot drive and the car just feels a lil faster on take off and sounds more meaner along with my test pipes and nismo exhaust.....maybe this is just my butt dyno at works again

Cleaning the filter does wonders for your car if it's dirty. Your butt dyno is accurate!

I love the butt dyno! It works everytime...the best is when you are somewhere and you go home at night and it's cooler and your car feels like it's supercharged all of a sudden, I love that, ha ha ha!

cold air does make the car go faster... feels like a supercharger at WOT... ok maybe more like a turbonator or tornado...

but yah all jokes aside, dubzdiggler i know how you feel. in the winter on the open freeway it seems like the car has some kind of FI.

i went with top speed tps for around $110 from performance nissan cos hfc is too pricey for me. if u got the $ and is worried about popo then go with hfc plus u don't have to worry about passing smogs

I have 15k on mine and have k$n filter cleaner kit sitting around. The dust on it is a filter in itself.
