1. Yes, motordyne Plenum will be worth it.
2. No, you do not have the Revup engine. (I have a lower intake collector from a Revup that I could sell to you for a great price. )
3. No, unless you live in Lake Tahoe.

Assuming that you are considering the Iso Thermal Plenum Spacer Kit, No.3 depends on the outside air temps, which you may experience in your local area. Here in the local Bay Area, we mostly deal with temps in the 50's to 60's. Occasionally, the temps dip into the 30's and 40's . . . Depending on where you live. I have a place in South Lake Tahoe, which I frequent. So, the question you need to ask yourself is, "Do I want to install the Copper Iso Thermal Plenum Spacer and never need to adjust anything?" or "Do I want to install the Iso Thermal Penum Spacer and adjust the Coolant Control Valve to heat up the Throttle Body assembly when required, due to low outdoor air temps?"

Adjusting the CCV is a simple matter of popping up your hood and turning a set screw with a flathead screwdriver.

Regardless of which TB heating method you may choose, you will definitely benefit from the Motordyne plenum spacer. Have fun!

Well thanks you guys, consider me a new Motordyne customer!!!

I live in the Inland Empire in So Cal and it gets cold for short period of time really just a couple of weeks so just twisting a screw will be no problem.

Now i fear my bank cards are going to go crazy w mod fever, i love my coupe, and after having the mod bug with my 2000 Mustang GT, the G will be alot more fun and i enjoy the luxury aspect of the Infiniti over the Ford.

Gotta go, have to do some online ordering

Thanks Andy, now if i could just find the led light strips for the front of the car, and a place to install them, i am not real good w electrical, if it's more than plugging it in, it's too complicated for my pea sized brain.

Now the hard part begins, the dreaded waiting!!!
