For those with the 5/16 spacers or 1/2 spacers.

Need feedback quick. I am looking to purchase either one or the other. The one which works best with our cars of course. Can anyone give me some suggestions. Also, does this create any other type of problems to the car or is it a simple bolt on that just gives axtra power. Again, anything will help. Thank you.
BTW, I have an 06 coupe 5AT.

Be smart........only use MotorDyne!

What's best for your '06 G35 is MotorDyne's MREV2 and their 5/16" spacer!
At the very least 15 HP and 18 LB FT Torque, probably more! Go the the
"Man" Tony @ 661-993-5111. That's MotorDyne number and Tony will
guide you in the right direction........guarinteed!

you will definately love the 5/16 iso thermal .. I installed it on my car. You can tell the difference. make sure you unhook the battery while installing to reset your compuer. Oh and make sure you follow the directions exactly and take your time. Dont twist off any bolts. I have heard some stories of people twisting off bolts. Take you time. ITs well worth it. GOOD luck hope you enjoy.

BTW, I ordered the regular Iso thermal, not the copper one. I am in NYC, does it really make a diffrence. I asked Tony what he thought and he told me its not worth it. He said under very cold conditions the car will operate the way it does stock since the cars are already built that way. He said it wasnt worth it and that i would be fine with the regular 5/16 iso thermal one. What do you guys think?

i think that guy tony is a two bit no good bum. and anything he says has zero merit. i mean who does he think he is? a sponsored professional? c'mon! whatever he says just do the opposite.

i was in the same boat as you so i shot Tony an email and he recommended going with just the 5/16" spacer on my 5AT. said this would give me the best bang for the $. It was also mentioned that if I added the MREV2 I ran the chance of running lean.
