Message but that doesn't stop me from saying that they behave like stockers if you just plug them in without bothering with all the "must have" accessories of recent memory (8" exhaust, boost controller, huge cam, MSP manifolds, and whatever else you people tack on to make the car bigger, better, faster).

Stock, 2005:

GT600R/740cc/.020" over/ARP goodies/coated pistons, 2010:

They do give more headroom - you aren't running on the ragged edge of efficiency/reliability like you are with 15-16PSI on stockers at the same pressure.

But, if you plumb them in just like stock (even with boost jets), they'll make 12-13 PSI tops, and they feel exactly the same as the stockers.

If that means my ass dyno isn't as finely calibrated as some of those around here, then so be it.

For the extra $400 over Nissan's replacement cost, I'm dead thrilled with 'em. Like-stock spool, better reliability, and a tad more power are more than enough recommendation from my end to buy them.

I will not shop at AMS.
AMS steals designs from hardworking Z32 enthusiasts and screws them out of work in a tough economy. I am boycotting, how about you?
