adding Motordyne 1/2" plenum spacer w/o Retune... bad idea??
I am thinking of adding a 1/2 plenum spacer to my 04 G35C APS TT at ~9.5PSI
The car is tuned very rich high 10's low 11's
Would it be safe to add a 1/2 spacer or wait until I can add it and retune.
Just wondering how much of a real impact it will have on the tune.

it wont be that expensive to retune. U are now just fine tuning it where it should only take at most 1 hr of tuning. If u changed injectors then yes u have to retune from the start but your fuel setup is the same so its basically adding a little more fuel up top and u are done.
Cost 200 (spacer) + 200 (tune) = $400= 10 hp extra. Is 10hp extra worth 400 dollars? That is up to u.

SAM at GT Motorsports qouted me 500 for a retune. Flat fee. The car was last tuned 2 years ago at brainstorm and is only making 390 or so whp, so it would actually be installing a 1/2 plenum spacer, and a better flowing exhaust and test pipes and retuning i should be at around 440whp.
Also i think the 1/2 spacer gives more than a 10hp gain with FI

spacers doesnt really give u much peak hp so I wouldnt really expect more than 10 peak hp. If your tuner is asking 500 flat fee then get everything done at once before u get it retuned. Or u can buy the spacer and dyno it with it on to see how your a/f is at and if its good keep it on and if it leans it too much take it off and wait until u get all the extra parts for the retune.

Ill take my chances , there isnt one in my engine bay, so thats why i feel a fuel press. gauge in cabin isnt bad, nice to see what its at. Im going to sell my Greddy Electronic boost gauges and replace it with a oil press gauge. Then my HKS EVC will be mounted were the ash try is and next to it will be my wideband, So it will display boost and AFR down there. Should be good.
