Need help!!
Hello guys I'm a new 02 z owner.. The car is all stock with 34k on it .. Last week I bought a blackwing intake that came with a vr air bridge from a forum member and I installed it took my time made sure that everything is snug and there are no leaks however I could swear that my car feels slower!! I lost some feeling in seat of pants driving... It's ideling smoothly no codes being thrown it just feels like I lost some torque or something... Could this just be my imagination or could this be true ??

I doubt changing the intake will make that much difference, i say make sure all the clamps are tight
Second make sure the maf sensor is in the same exact position as it was originally..the maf sensor in these cars is very sensitive and changing the angle will disturb the air flow and throw off the calibration

Ok at this point it is safe to say it is your MAF causing all the issues...i would find a way to relocate it to the original position. Another possible way to fix this issue get a halltech screen which can help regulate flow... The best way would be to tune the car..
Also check make sure the maf is not backwards, there is an arrow on it which indicates air flow..
