to be honest since ive had it (put it one during the summer) i dont think i feel much difference.

i dont really feel a huge heatsoak problem. I dont feel a gain either. The only difference that i could tell was the sound. and that is barely audible because my exhaust usually drowns it out

heat soak/no engine stalls/performance loss???

>there is heat soak but once you get to 40mph the cool air from the outside takes over, been discussed way to many times
>no engine stalls here, heck thought that was a thing of the past already (older model Z's)
>performance loss...... from a stop yes, from a roll no, who buys a popcharger for performance gains

OP: everyone basically has one and people are always getting rid of it, or people are lazy to keep it clean and get tired of cleaning or people find a thread that talks about heat soak and panic...possibilities are endless with such a controversial part in the 350
