I had the MREV+ on my 05 G and it was well worth the price. I don't remember how much I paid for it since it was a while back but once you put it on you will DEFINITELY notice the power. I think I paid something around the 400 range but can't remember exactly.

It's fairly easy to install. Just takes a few hours.

if you have a rev up, then do both to maximize your gain.

Not sure where you are as far as mileage goes but this would be a perfect time to replace the plugs too (if needed).

Motordyne has pretty good instructions on getting those pieces installed. Read through them first, then start. It's not hard, just take your time.

On a Rev-Up engine, I hear the gains are incredible for both the MREV and the 5/16ths spacer.

My question is, is the power increase at higher rpm's (above 5000 for instance), or is there a solid gain from 3000rpm and up? Any loss at lower rpm's?

With the combo, the claims from Motordyne are 20hp and 30tq (for revup)
