IMO, a spacer is one of the best bangs for your buck.

I can run really hard and still place my hand on top of the plenum and its only warm to the touch.
I love my Skunk2 5/8 spacer, it feels like a 10 shot of NOS at the top end. lol

I just stated that MD is more popular, and In My Opinion the Skunk2 spacer is a better cost "bang for the buck" than a more expensive ISO thermal spacer. No where did I imply a spacer is better than a even more expensive Plenum replacement. Jeez...

np mang... i respect your opinion. i just wanted to give props to the skunky because it's been kind to me.
if anyone can find some comparison independent plenum spacer dynos that has the skunk2 included. id be all over that, like a fat kid on a cupcake.

Nothing with the Skunk, but MD's website has a reprint of the charts from Sport Z Magazine's shootout between APS, MD, Crawford, and Kinetix.

I've spoken to a lot of people here, and most of them have advised me to go with MREV 2 + plenum spacer. However, I called Everythingg35.com and spoke to Mike. He said that the headers will give me better performance and more HP, but it's way harder to install than the MREV 2 and spacer.
Please,,,,,,,,,,,,, what do you guys REALLY think I should do??? I'm planning to do this next February!!!
Any comments will be HIGLHY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!

My buddy on his 05 6-mt with the same setup pulled 18 extra ponnies with
22ft lbs of Tq. Not bad numbers for what hes got. All stock except for
what I mentioned...even running the OEM airbox!
Easy decision if it was me
