I'd rather have the stockies on until you get the wheels your looking for. Just my 2cents.

couple of questions: a pop charger in essence is just a filter right? just going by a strange name?

Don't get the poopcharger, or any intake. They don't make power, and SRI's, like what you have on right now, are the worst. Not worth it. A lot of those filters gunk up the MAF as well. People are saying to throw on a stock airbox with a K&N, and I agree with the stock box, but the K&N doesn't filter quite as well as I'd like, so maybe an Amsoil dry filter? G35s seem to have heat soak issues, so I think an Aramid gasket from Motordyne would be worth a try if you're putting on a spacer, but I can bet you that the intake you're running isn't doing intake temps any favors.

As for your wheels, I'll stay out of it, but I'm a big fan of light weight rims.

Nice car!

so best combination according to dyno is stock airbox with drop in filter and a z tube?

did some more led replacement tonight, changed reverse bulbs to 8 smd led bulbs, very nice crisp bright white...my prelude has become an led donor lately, haha, might as well take whatever i can from it before i sell it...

The airbox from the 6MT revups is supposedly better because it has a big velocity stack.

Revup Airbox
Z-tube
Quality filter (I like Amsoil, but to be honest idk if any filters make any difference)

changed my filter back to oem airbox with a k&n drop in, except i kept the k&n piping from the kit...there shouldn't really be a difference between this tube and ztube right?

You'll have better success if you can keep the G level while changing the oil.

03/04 = DE
05/06 6MT = Revup

Revups make more power, rev higher, have stronger rod bolts, different lower collector, etc. The Revup motors were only found on the 6MTs in 05 and 06. The autos are DEs like the 03/04 models.

Also, I'm sure your intake tube is fine, the Z-Tube is just plastic so it heat soaks less.

^Also, the revup is more likely to have oil consumption problems than the DE.

Best bet: HR
