So it sounds like a plenum spacer wont actually do anything unless I have an Mrev2. Even if I did get Mrev2 would you guys consider it worth the money? Will it make a noticeable difference?

you wont notice anything really until you get a tune, to take full advantage of the parts

So looking at a Motordyne MREV2 lower plenum costs around $500 for the part alone and a motordyne copper intake spacer costs $225. I can install the parts myself, do these prices seem accurate/ fair? These are for brand new parts.

yes, but then you will need a tune because you will be lean.... so figure another 700 give or take some

Also as far as tuning is concerned, are we talking about a dyno tune? What would be your recommendation on tuning? I dont know much about tunes/ tuning at all.

Another question, should I replace the clutch when I replace the flywheel? or leave OEM clutch? Also should I work on getting just a lightweight fly wheel or is there a particular stage (stage 1, 2, 3) I should get?

Thanks

Looks nice. IMO I would just get in it and go unless you have a supercharger or turbo on your mind. All the other mods don't reap much gains. And it's all about making dem gains son. DEM FOOKING GAINZZZZZZZZ.

As for tune you could easily go with uprev osiris standard as it makes things simple for you.

We have all fed him enough lol. I fear for the vehicle's future.

OP, please for the sake of your own car do some more research. All the questions you are asking are basic mechanical knowledge. Not sure you are ready to do any of the things you want if you don't even know which motor is in the vehicle...

Hahaha thanks for your help guys, don't plan on doing anything to the car anytime soon. I will definitely do some more research on the car. Honestly I doubt I'll get anything done to it unless its a plenum. If I decide not to do that then I will probably just have it tuned and be done with it. You guys were super helpful I cant thank you enough.
