What is the next bang for buck mod

I have a 03 Sedan and I just installed a Ztube with the Stillen Airbox from G35parts.com

I love how it pulls harder on the top end, seems like a good power gain above 4000 rpms.

My question is, what do I buy next to complement it to add more power - 5/16th iso or 1/2in iso or Mrev2?

Is there something better I can do for under 4-500 bucks?

Thanks for any help guys

5/16th spacer will do more for you than the mrev2

5/16th adds lower end power, 1/2 adds higher end.

Mrev is more for rev up engines (not yours)

Do I need anything else to install the 5/16th besides what comes with the kit, like gaskets or anything?

you should be good man as long as tou buy it from tony at MD or a vendor since they ship the kit with all the bolts and washers


also if your gonna do it your self get your self a proper torque wrench, these bolts snap so easy its not even funny
