Red face Next Mod Im Lookin Into... Help PLZ

I cant decide and have been doing research through this forum and still cant decide on which I want to go with
Either the Motordyne MREV Kit or the SSV Extreme Flow Kinetix Manifold.
they both give nice numbers the kinetix looks nicer and takes care of the upper and lower plenums.
I have a 06 Z and it has the rev up motor.
Which would be most efficent or others say bang for the buck on power gains. Only mods I have is the HKS Dual Hi-Power Exhaust and K&N typhoon intake .

Go with the SSV for sure, solid gains and one piece. dont have to worry about any leaks or anything after install. Plus looks alot better than a spacer.

SSV, nothing more to say. If you plan on going F/I, this will benefit you later. See my cardomain page for pix of my setup.

I think the MREV is a awesome mod if your staying N/A. It gives great gains...

Although I don't have any personal experience with either mod, I would have to agree with what was said above after seeing firsthand reviews on the forums.

If you plan on going F/I some time in the future: Kinetix SSV
If you plna on staying N/A for the time being: MREV

We've seen some excellent gains from the SSV, especially when F/I. I don't see how you could go wrong with it.

I agree with the prognosis. SSV if FI are in plans, MREV if not. however at $820 vs $487 there is also a cost factor to keep in mind. also I don't think you can use the stock strut bar with the SSV. correct me if I'm wrong.

You CAN use the stock strut bar with the SSV. You can also use the GReddy GRex bar! See pix of my car below with both bars. Again, I would redommend the SSV for its performance gains as well as the "bling" factor. This piece is what gets the most looks/comments under the hood!!

SSV is so-so considering how much you pay. I would rather support a company that is led by a Rocket Scientist" literally than some guys welding crap together. MREV because they have been proven over, over, over, and over with independant tests
