Replace Or Space?

What is the best way to go on my 04' g35 6mt? 1. replace the OEM plenum with the kinetix plenum. 2. Add 5/16 spacer. 3. Add 1/2 spacer. Keep in mind I am running a short ram intake and cat back at the moment and there is a very small chance I will go FI in the future. What is the best for HPGAINS/COST and what gains am I looking at with the different options. Thanks and marry xmass!!!

5/16's spacer from Motordyne and save your money by keeping your oem plenum.

so there is not enough difference in gains to justify replacing. good to know. I was also toying around with the idea of the kinetix velocity plenum along with runnng catless. I have read this combo produces good results. If I dont end up doing that the 5/16 spacer will be my next mod.

If your're gonna go catless, go with the art pipes.

not trying to sound like a motordyne fanboy, but Tony's stuff works and is top notch quality.

For g35/350z I have herd nothing but good things about motodyne... my only reserve about there test pipe is the resonator. I like loud. Anything that prevents that kinda throws me. And if I do end up going spacer over replaceing motodyne will be the one I get. Does the motodyne test pipe come with the j bung for o2 sensor?

i agree with the 5/16 iso.. its what im purchasing to put on with my polished plenum.
its pretty tough to find someone talking bad about motordyne... nothing put positivity about em

but the guy from my local shop is trying to talk me in to going FI. He says he can get me a good price on (Vortech® Tuner Kit w/V-2 SCi-Trim Supercharger & Charge Cooler, Satin) but then im looking at fuel system upgrade, full tune ect... so at that point might end up going with the Kinetix Velocity.

^ if you go FI, be prepared to spend $10-15k to "do it right". Anything less will result in your car being in the shop rather than being driven.

Aside from the general things need to do a NA to FI conversion are there any things spicific to VQ35DE that I would not have run into on my other FI projects I have worked on? Keep in mind im only going to be runing 6psi so things like forged internals should not be a necessity. But any little tricks you know about FI on 04 g35's 6mt would be a big help.
