VQ, don't treat me like an idiot, I know how to use the search. I asked for someone to reply so I can PM them and ask for a private review. I have been looking through the search and haven'g found answers to questions I'm looking for.

Alright most my questions were answered, but I still have a few.

Is this a safe long term modification? Since Doug would like my stock core back for $200, I want to be sure that there will not be any problems in 5+ years or so.

Also, after installing this, does this make the car run any more lean due to the 25% increase of air? Doug was saying something about a customer who was pinging after he installed it.

I talked with Doug about the lean condition and it isn't big enough to warrant any problems. I sure haven't had any problems and many others here don't have a problem otherwise it would have been an issue by now.

I think it will benefit the Z longterm since it helps the Z breathe better. When you look at the stock upper plenum you will think, "how could nissan be so stupid?" or that's what went through my head anyways.

Hope that helps.

It's not knocking it into a lean condition... it's pulling it OUT of a rich condition.

The forward two cylinders are starving for air... thus the rich condition occurs. The plenum fixes just that.

cool man, it's well worth it, and it's so easy to install.

easier than installing an injen intake.

get the strut bar too, it looks damn cool.

you have to be very patient and understanding with Doug, he is the only one building/making these. They are made by hand. Sometimes he has to wait for people to send their cores back in. So be very patient. I think I waited maybe 2-3 weeks. There is a list of about 10 people.
