How to spot a rev-up engine?

Is there anything to look for on our engines to determine if it is a rev-up engine or not? I am new to the g35 family. I have a 2005 g35 5at with a stillen stage 2 supercharger. I am trying to figure out if I can go to stage 4 or just a stage 3 rev-up setup.

'05-up Rev Ups are on the 6MT.

Correction: 05+ 6MT's are rev ups.

You do not have a rev up.

Thanks for the quick replies. I traded my 2009 mustang gt for this car I test drove it and just had to have it. My mustang dynoed at 289 rwhp and 314 rwtq I know the g35 has about the same power but it just feels quicker but i want more power like always. I know it wont be a powerhouse with the stillen setup but a little more power is always a good thing. Do you guys think it was a good trade?

G gives you classy looks and power. Mustang is really just power. I hate how American sports cars are doing this whole retro look, inside and out. The Challenger looks exactly like it did in the 70's. The Mustang is hit or miss with me, but the GT is usually good money. I like the new Camaro, but still, it's 2009. Glad the Vette isn't inspired by some 1950's version and continues to look futuristic and aerodynamic.

The G pretty much has a little for everybody. You have your sporty heritage if you want some go-fast and sweet handling. You have your classy interior for when you wanna take your girl out one night. You get looks from everybody as you drive by. I still say "ooooh" when I see a G coupe on the street, and I have one!

Yeah i get the oooohs and ahhhh especially with the sound of the supercharger at full throttle. I have been a fan of both style cars. right now in the drive way I have a 1970 Benz 280se 3.5 coupe, 1969 mg midget, 1964 mustang, 1986 porsche 944 and the 2005 g35. There like pokemon Gotta catch them all.

I have my G for me and an '07 Trailblazer SS as the family car. I needed 395hp for heavy duty grocery shopping and taking the kids to doctors appointments.

My grocery getter is 1998 explorer 5.0 awd couple mods. Those trailblazers are bad a$$. My daughter loves riding in the g35. She starts laughing and giggling when I goose it a little. She is defentlly going to be a car girl.
