Tough to say. How do you know what power came from the Injen plus reflash vs. just reflash? You'd have to dyno three times I guess.
But, the same car can dyno differently even on the same day. When looking for a few HP difference, it'll be tough to tell.

Very much watching these two technosquare threads... and on my X ,, all i want is to get rid of the top speed limiter,, not even interested in anything else..... btw. i am glad i did not buy ANY diff. intake system for this car. back when these cars came out, i tried to read as much technical stuff as poss. and everyone seemed to like what Infiniti did with this 80% new engine in 07 and the twin intake system with factory ram air.... sometimes the manufactuer gets it right!! regards...

I really think until some companies do some real R&D work on intakes...the best way to go is K&N drop-in's.
BTW anybody want to buy some Stillen Intakes? We happen to have some laying around...hahahahaha!! j/K

The K&N dropins are also a big waste of money. They provide no noticeable increase in power and let a ton more silicon into the engine. This has been proven time and again through oil analysis.

What would be the point in removing it exactly? Yikes.
While I hit 135 once in my trans am (with the t-tops out), I have no desire to do that in the G35.

+1 Aeson. Been on the dark side of 150 (speedo indicated, and we all know how accurate they are) in my 07 X. I am 100% sure that the indicated 152 I hit was much faster than an actual 136 mph, if anyone is going to think the speedo would be 16 mph off. I have been up to 165 GPS validated in M3, so based on comparison, I would say I was in the 145 area when 152 showed on the cluster.
Onto the removal of the limiter----I know the car had more in it when i let up, but there was no need. I was in the mountains, many elevation changes, and I will tell you, if you have the limiter taken out, there MAY be 1 or 2 times that you will go into the new territory, and hopefully never on public roads. If you are rarely/never on a LONG *** track, dont let the removal of this influence your decision. The 150 area is more than enough for any sane person. That being said, if i had this reflash done when in the mountains, i am sure i wouldnt have let up to see what the car really would hit, when limited only by drag and power. BUT...........without a SatNav GPS Transponder to get guaranteed speed readings, it would have been terribly useless.
I digress...
this should debunk the 136 X or Auto Tranny limiter theory. FYI, my X is bone stock, well except for debadging, which should add 30 or so hp.

Limiters are usually directly related to the tires that come with the car. No Z rated tires = lower speed limiter.
So, if you bought a car up north with snow tires or something, you'll likely have a lower limiter.
If you're stuck at 137, do you really want to pay $500 to go faster than that though?
(ironic we can discuss going 155mph and not discuss a 60mph street race).
