Agreed, breather mods work best together. Greater than the sum of their parts.

As far as NA bolt ons go, Z1 has a dyno slip of an NA 370Z putting down 342WHP, when drivetrain losses are taken into account is right in the neighborhood of ≈ 400 HP at the crank.

Don't you love how the advertised HP gains are always at the crank? I also found that a lot of figures are found on Dynojet Dynos. Not the most accurate means to measure but I guess it's better then the ole butt dyno!

best bang for the buck with out going forced induction is nitrous. find an engineered kit and a tuner shop that understands how to properly install and tune it. You should be able to safely do 75 hp shot and perhaps a bit more...

Very true! I didn't think of it that way. Guess they can advertise anything and if your WHP is off, it's attributed to dyno variances.

Go TT!


It's a different beast... Main reason I went BMW. I can easily get 500+ out of her
