need help with strut bar clearance

k, got no love in the suspension section so looking for some locals to help me out..

ok, right now i have a 5/16ths spacer. im about to purchase mrev2 and kinetix v+ upper plenum. which strut bar will fit with these?

ive contacted motordyne and they said the stillen bar will fit with their mrev and the 5/16ths but not sure with the kinetix plenum.

kinetix says that their plenum is slightly bigger then stock and that it MIGHT fit with the spacer but they also said that i might have hood clearance issues and may need longer bolts..

stillen says they DONT believe their strut bar will fit with the plenum or the spacer..

then another stillen rep says it will not fit with neither the spacer or plenum...


anyone? help is greatly appreciated.. thanks

well

Honestly I don't know what type of gains ur gonna get with the v+ if u already have the spacer... But I have the kinetic v+ and unless I'm mistaken the only front strut that clears that plenum is the kinetix front of which they recently discontinued. Have you found a dyno sheet proving gains from both? Cuz with either using only 1 it's about 13rwhp. Let me know.

thNks for the info ypahu and battle.

battle, no dyno sheets but from motordynes website it says that using the kinetix plenum with the spacer will only add minimal hp more. but I figure the plenum is only 250 so I'll just buy it.
