Anyone seen this intake in person?
Looks like a neat bit of kit (to use the UK phrase), but certainly not cheap. Wonder what kind of power gains are possible?

Well, Ginetta claims their 3.7l in the G55 has 370 hp at the crank. However, it probably doesn't have any emissions on it. Most of the bolt ons out there right now will get you to 360bhp or just over 300whp.

I sent an email to Jenvey, and they claim 350-400hp "depending on other mods".
I figure headers, catless exhaust, 93-octane gas, and a dyno tune will get you to at least 370.
Beyond that, it would be a genuine reason for raising your hood at a car meet - you'd have the only one like it.

I bet the sound would be interesting...even with the Steeda intake I just put on, this engine sounds GREAT when it can breathe! I'd be this would be interesting too.

You'd have to come up with an air box that hooked up to a CAI so you could mount the MAF, but that's the only real issue I see. Jenvey may be able to help source such an item. I wonder if Steeda would be interested in developing a system for this...

A few simple words of wise wisdom. Yes, to the post above me that you will need to figure out a way to run a MAF sensor of sorts which would be difficult. Yes, there are no emissions to be use once this is installed so no go on SMOG.
Also the most inherent trait with Individual throttle bodies (I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR FRIENDS OR PERSON WILL SAY) ITB's cause loss of torque, BUT, they do give one hell of a freaking throttle response. You will literally have to use your big toe to modulate the pedal to get it moving at first, it will be that sensitive.
This by far is one of the best Naturally Aspirated (N/A) upgrade/modification you can put on a Racing Spec car. You will see a significant gain of about 30 rear wheel horsepower OR as much as 50 HP, roughly you will lose anywhere from 20 ft lbs to as much as 50 ft lbs of torque. And then there is the issue of timing each individual throttle body, which is a PITA!!
Also the last time i checked majority of Jenvey's parts do come from Thailand (Don't quote me on this though).

I think MMR is building a stroker kit for the 3.7. I know they've done a forged bottom end kit for it.
