I understand you guys are taking decades to produce and release, and a lot of preliminary testing is going. But when you say don't trust Stillen's dyno numbers, what should lead us to believe your dyno numbers....Cause we don't have a private party to go by? Injen intakes aren't out yet, and the only person that has it rocks there logo in his signature! Sorry if im being ****, maybe im just annoyed that its taking so long.

^ + 10,000. I'll even chip in if someone is too cheap to pay for the pulls. No offense to any vendor, but unless I'm really familiar with your company and have bought many of your products in the past, I'd really like to see some true 3rd party/independent dyno info before I put my money down.

If a few others get some pulls prior to the buy, it helps those in question make up their minds for sure.

Seems to me... if I were an aftermarket company... and I had a product... and it produced good gains... and there was a lot of excitement about it... and I wanted to get it out there... and there was talk of a huge group buy from a community specifically for the vehicle for THAT product...
AND I STOOD BEHIND THE POWER CLAIMS and had nothing to worry about...
...then I would try to get a few kits out beforehand for independent verification, since I would have nothing to lose and could build even more excitement and more trust and more potential customers.
But what do I know? I'm used to working in the aftermarket industry with 1000HP cars.
Just saying... marketing 101.
I don't even have a G37 so I don't care if it's out or not. But I am tired of unscrupulous aftermarket BS claims. Not saying this is one, because I don't know.

Yea but if you want to do the group buy it would be nice to see BEFORE hand what the thing actually does. Not that I do not believe the folks here....it is just nice to see some other validation of the claims being made.
If a few others get some pulls prior to the buy, it helps those in question make up their minds for sure.

I have a dyno appointment set up in 2 weeks.... and I plan to do the dyno and post the results... this all depends if Injen Can get the intake to me by then... I want to take one for the team and see what things can really do on an unmanipulated Independant Dyno....
fingers are crossed!!! lets hope!
and thats with a Group buy discount

I do wonder how much the price was influenced by people posting on here how much they felt the intake would cost/how much they thought it was worth.
