But that's proven from K&N drop in filters in trucks to HKS suction intakes on skylines. Perhaps this is your own conclusion that resulted from your own tests but I have seen nothing but success from my past 5 cars before my Z with a aftermarket intake attached.

if having it makes you feel better, more power to ya
dynoing an intake proves absolutely nada - nothing, zilch.
What was mentioned was true - 1/4, if not a half mile - any real gains you net will be realized there...not on a dyno
I have one on my car...among the rarest and probably the priciest ones ever for a Z, but I knew going in it wouldn't do a damn thing - I got it because its pretty and rare

Car to car is different... you can't expect the same thing you got with your past five cars. Hell, my DSM mad 15whp/wtq from slapping an HKS RS kit on it. My Evo made similar. My Z... barely made squat. That's what happens when you have an already efficient design.

+1 if you want your mods to matter then get an rsx-s so you can smoke everyone with your intake,exhaust, header, and tune upgrade

Nissan engineers are not stupid guys. They are a very smart group.
There is a little bit to be gained in the filter element because the OEM filters that are used are mainly for filtration and not performance. So using a dry performance drop in filter will help a bit. The main idea is preventing heat soak which the OEM plastic airbox does very well.
Oh and Z1 has a sick intake on his car, Gruppe-M ftmfw!!!! I miss mine, I wish they made a kit for the HR's.
