Is it worth it to get a Joe Z intake?
I've been reading a lot on this forum and others about intakes, exhausts, filters, dyno's, etc. I can to the conclusion I was gonna get a Joe Z intake. I have read mixed results (most recently in conjunction with the Blitz filter).
My question is...should I still get one? Is it worth the 100 bucks. I think I want one. Convince me either way.
Thanks.

I just got the JOE Z intake. Throttle response was really good. I pushed it to around 7k RPM with ECT PWR On. Everything was smoooth as can be. LOVE IT!!! I have about 1400 Miles on mines so doing it once wont kill the engine. 
Not sure about yours stevejenn1 since 350 miles is a bit too low.
BTW Got the brilliant Silver with black sleeves. Looks awesome and has a 99% stock look to it.
