Will the 1/2" spacer also allow for the G35 engine cover to fit?

You drivin the Sedan or Coup? I'll try it out on my sedan today.

E_K is scheduled to be dynoing/trying out a range of spacers in his Coup next Saturday so that should tell us more.

Good question jjellyneck. I know it's just a piece of plastic, but I like the way it looks and it keeps some mods on the DL.

I'm also interested to see the dyno results on the spacers vs. the Crawford and APS. Since APS claims that the stock plenum is not only restrictive, but results in varying mixes per cylinder, I'd be curious to see how the space with the stock plenum handles this (assuming the claim is valid of course).

I have the coupe. I'll keep my eyes open for E_K's dyno tests and reviews.
I'd like the cover to fit so that I can be stealth.

Just got an answer back from APS. They still haven't mentioned a date, but at least here is an idea on price:

Our apologies for the delay in response, however, as indicated on our
website home page, we were closed until the 17th.

There are no G35 fitment issues with the APS Plenum. Anticipated MSRP in
the U.S. is $395.00.

Best regards,
David Inall

APS

On the APS, those are knockouts for additional injectors. Be interesting to see the dynos for the APS and the cast Crawford plenum thats in the works.

Talked to Grubbs and ETA for the APS has been confirmed as early February. Emailed Crawford to see if I could get some scoop on the cast plenum.

I believe the listed price for the cast Crawford is $350. Same as the APS.

APS is $395.

First production version of the Crawford is back. I'm #21 out of the 50 being shipped in the first run.

Regarding APS, Crawford will have shipped 2 products before they even bring 1 to market. The redesign (huge mistake IMO because most of their customers are NOT going to run forced air setups), multiple delays and no answer to email queries I've sent in doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Here's the other interesting thing, all we see are the same pictures. Makes you wonder how well they support their products.

When I ordered the Crawford Cast... Doug answered, talked to him for 10 minutes. That says something.

The other thing to keep in mind is that it's a plenum. Dyno numbers might be slightly different, but there isn't going to be a massive performance delta.

I've been told if you install any other type of type of plenum or plenum spacer, you can no longer have your engine cover on. Is this correct?
