Of course, this is a guess, I major in comp sci and not aero, but I've taken a lot of aero just because of the school I attend...

Damn good idea.....glad you had the ***** to try it out...
Also glad that I wasn't the only person with AEM who thought that the car just didn't seem healthy. The AEM was an improvement however slight, but it just didn't seem happy, and I couldn't decide between JWT Pop or the AEM. In about a week I was about to just order a JWT and call the AEM a loss, but I am fully confident that this will do exactly what you say. Great work man, can't wait to do it.
This will also get rid of the knot I get in my stomach everytime I drive while it's wet out....I always thought my engine would turn the intake into a straw if I had to drive through a puddle. : /

I figure that when i am driving that whole area in the grill fills up with air. if that is the case the pop charger is sucking in that air and as I found out earlier today when i did a test run with my digimoto software (check other thread) my air intake temp was surprisingly lower than other Z's even though it was hotter outside where I ran the test!
I also put in numbers about cubic air intake amounts but my numbers are the first to be posted. If it comes back that everyone else gets MORE AIR in than me, well then I'll reconsider, but once again, my air intake temp. was alot lower than others when the outside airtemp. here was hotter!
check out the thread.

I installed my AEM last weekend. Not happy with the way the car feels. Feels bogish. I raced it this weekend and the intake didnt help at all. I ran 13.7@101 bone stock, best i could get was 13.9@100 this weekend. I even ran against 03RedlineZ, damn what a good race. He has the Injen and Stillen exhaust, i had the better reaction time but by mid track he walked right by me. I still won though hehe, he broke out of his dial in time. But I'm gonan order the Injen tomorrow. Much better set up then the AEM. So i have an AEM for sale.

The filter in those pictures only had 4k miles on it and it looked like it was drinking mud for 20k.. I have already washed it with the cleaning kit but it was nasty when it was pulled out.

get this
Just get this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...476786049&rd=1
and a K&N conical air filter with a 3" inlet. It will cost a total of $54 to your door and is essentially the exact same as the pop charger or any other short ram intake. Plus, with this one I bought a 9" long K&N instead of the shorter conical filters because they do flow more CFM's. IMO this is the best $50 you can put into your vehicle and it will perform as well as any $200 intake out there. I love mine
