If there was any torque loss, it likely won't be felt.
My N54 makes 500 wtq and runs comical looking cone intakes. It's all about the torque curve of the tune and removing air flow restriction at peak boost to make peak power throughout the rev range.

Ah, gotcha. I have a comp pack as well with the 6MT. People have said you can feel the torque loss a lot worse with the 6MT but still think I want to give it a try. Also what exactly do you mean by it likes to rev out before picking up speed? |
I usually drop 2-3 gears before getting on it and flooring it until 6000 rpm or so. Although I do most of my freeway passing in 5th or 6th gear (I'm DCT).
The M3 ZCP feels a bit lazier down low compared to the earlier base F8X models due to the change in the tune. You need to hit a certain rpm before it gets moving, otherwise I feel like I'm lugging the engine if trying to pass in too high of a gear.
