There is a reason for the price increase. They were originally selling the pop-chargers without the heat shield. I ordered mine directly from Jim. He told me they only started shipping kits with the heat shields a couple of weeks ago. They now only ship kits with the heat shield included. If someone did buy an early kit without the heat shield, JWT will sell just the heat shield to them.

Best way to avoid these probs is wait about a year before purchasing a new product.
That way all the smoke clears up and the truth starts to trickle in.
my $0.02

The JWT seems to be the only intake mod that might/does help.

The Dyno runs showing an 11 HP gain were done 5000 miles apart. The first one was at 3200 miles and the second at around 8200 miles.
I would expect an engine to loosen up in that period and show more power even with NO mods.
IMO tt is not possible to conclude that the 11 HP difference was due the popcharger.

Quote : "The car does have 5000 more miles on it since the baseline, so some of the gain could be due to more break in."
Agreed, this was with the original post.

Somehow, over time, this has mutated in to pop charger fans claiming "a guy gained 11 hp by adding a pop charger and he posted his dynos". That is just an inaccurate summary of what was really posted.

Yeah, I think the original dyno poster did a great job of describing the test including all the important details like mileage.

Thanks, that was me
I think the main point was to share with the forum, that a mod had been installed, and to show the results on the same dyno as the baseline.

JWT Pop cahrger rocks!!! It's been my only for 7 months now I have 9800 miles on my Z and sometimes I'm afraid to shift at redline in traffic for fear that the back end will step out!!! I struggle to gain traction in the 1'st and 2'nd. The thing is for real. Now for the Borla......

I can vouch for the JWT as well. Altough all the engine mods I did in my "sig" I did at once. So my before and after numbers are from the collective whole.
