I’m sure all the sponsors, manufactures and enthusiast appreciate your pessimism.
How do you know that you can’t trust anything that a company puts on their website about their own product? Have you actually gone through and done non-bias research to cross reference all manufacturers claims posted on websites in order to verify your claimed lack of validity?
Do you have any first hand experience with these?
Have you ever put one if these through any dyno or other means of testing?
If you have not, why don’t you spare people who are seeking accurate and useful information your $0.02.
If you do have information that is founded on experience which is greater than mere B.S. would you be so kind as to share?

one word for what the manufactures say about their own product. marketing. and FYI, there have been independant test (unlike the ones manufacturers do) have put these mods to the dyno, and have proved them to be lacking for better of a word. Other sites have done the same thing with different people, different set ups, conditions and whatever else youcan think of. manufacturer numbers never equal out to what the product actually puts out.

What Steve said. These tests done are independently done by the manufacturers and of coarse will be skewed a little in the favor of their product. What I said was not B.S. Many companies have claimed 10-15hp gains with an exhaust, intake, ect and many independent owners have done many dynos and the fact is with the Z the claims are normally on the high side. An intake will not just free up 10-12 hp with the Z unless it is paired up with other mods. I mean people have done full exhaust changes, plenum, intake, etc and only have gotten 20 or so hp. Claims of 10-12 with just a simple intake is way high. HP just does not come that easily with the VQ35
