Does the JWT Popcharger really stall your Z. I seen many post of this issue. I heard it takes time for the Z to get used to air flow from the intake. I also heard its the best bang for the buck. I think total price with heat shield is abour 150-170 bucks.

its hard to say, the 350z has a very good stock airbox, persoanlly I dont like the price for what you gain from it, get the K&N or Nismo drop in filter and gain better throttle responce and you will be fine. Spend your $$$ on a y-pipe, cats, or plenum.

Default AEM...

Really, in my car club, the Desert Z Association we have 350's with every combination imaginable, Injen, Nismo, AEM, JWT you name it. Dyno day comes around and we are all at basically the same rwhp and torque. So, it is just a matter of aesthetics. I went with AEM brushed aluminum finish because the balance of the accessory pieces are the same brushed aluminum.

Ciao'

The stock airbox is a good design. Any gains will be unnoticeable. Some CAI's have registered lost HP. Many people recommend the PopCharger, it has a fairly consistent (but small) gain, and serves as a nice sound mod.

Just put a drop in filter in your stock air box, why throw away money?
