How much more power can you really gain from a throttle body spacer? I found a 70mm spacer on Andy's for $18. Cheap yes, but worth the time/effort to install it?

Also, would it be worth the $50 for a K&N Air Filter?

from my research throttle body's dont do much of anything for our cars...but the K&N would be worth it...just don't over oil the filter b/c the oil filters can ruin your mass airflow sensor.

I did that to my Lexus once. Not good. (Lexus/Toyotas have extremely sensitive airflow sensors with little or no room for error. The slightest bit of airflow over or under what the sensor expects could mean the difference of the car even starting or not.)

i looked into the AEM dryflow filter for your car, and they don't have one. I'm sure if you make a special request they may return your email about producing a filter for your car...especially if you tell them you are a very active member of many nissan/infinity forums and websites and would love to help promote their dryflow technology!!
