So I think you are correct in saying it probably is mostly due to the dirty filter...

Nope it is the filter i swaped in a drop in at about 2k miles and saw about 3-4 mpg over stock.

Sorry what I meant was its probably not the CAI, but the addition of a clean good filter. I got a good increase when I dropped the K&N in also.

Congrats on the new car.......


Yea just the drop in K&N, the cold air intake K&N makes is a waste......IMO

have to take a trip out Thursday and check out your new Z, get ahold of me Wednesday or something. I am off Thursday-Monday this comming week.

I dont remember what your 60' was that night, I have gotten 2.2's out of it finally, New tires actually bite in first gear, so it should be better now. Havent been to the track in a long while though. Let me know what you run Wednesday. They are open from 6 to 10 for test and tune.

WED AUGUST 27 RIDE ALONG T-N-T
FRIDAY AUGUST 29 T-N-T
SATURDAY AUGUST 30
ALL RUN BRACKET & T-N-T
SUNDAY AUG 31 T-N-T
