Give Jason or myself a call if you want to go in depth... but our website has some of the most F.A.Q's on it... here's a few options:

Jeff,

I've been looking for a dyno curve on the NISMO CAI but can’t find one. I'm really debating this whole CAI thing because its debatable if there really is a gain besides at redline. In some cases people are actually claiming a loss with the AEM and the Injen.

Have you seen a dyno curve? Any other thoughts, comments, advice, etc. would be appreciated.

As a prior user of the AEM set up and a current POPCHARGER user I would have to say the Popcharger is much more effective. The Nismo CAI is essentially a AEM intake with some rubber gaskets (whatever the darn things are called eludes me!!) that protect against water coming back up the intake pipe. These flanges or blockers rob you of HP as tha air has to go through them. Long story short - Pop is better. Read the 100's of ppl saying it is (just go back 1-2 weeks)

the way i look at it...

getting more into the motor which is most important...

both will do it sucessfully...

when it comes time to clean the filter... the nismo filter gets dirtier faster so you have to clean tha tmore... the JWT Pop Charger you need to clean less and is easier to clean...

What he said...I used to own an AEM, now I own a pop-charger. Same yourself $150 and get the pop-charger, I had better dyno results with the pop-charger....and I have never had a problem with stalling out after revving high and pushing in the clutch or with idleing.
