^Probably not, but you can get one of these. I'm sure if MD was able to improve their plenum they would have done so by now.

After installming the Mrev2 + 5/16 MD spacers, it feels just as fast as my brother's G37S coupe.
Before? No way...

It costs lots of money to get more HP out of the VQ. They are not conservatively tuned as it is. With the MREV2, you get one HP per $33, a pure bargain.

The G37 feels a lot faster because their gearing is much better.
That is, you can floor the car at 2000 rpm and it'll go.
The throttle response is just there.

However, if you take both cars to high ends, above 4k rpm; they really are not that different. Granted, the G37 is definately faster, but the Mrev 2+ spacers really made it as quick as the G37. Keep in mind, the 37 coupe is a few hundred lbs heavier too.

The best thing about the Mrev 2 + spacers is that your 2.5k-5k rpm is feels more power and they are the power that you can actually use in day to day driving.

However, I cannot speak for the Automatic G35 guys.
My best friend has a 05 coupe AT, and it feels a lot slower than my 06 6MT for some reason. But what can I say... at least he doesn't have to step on the clutch 60 times before getting to work every morning
