MREV+ Dyno Tested On The 287 HP Engine!

I've dyno tested a lot of different modifications to the lower plenum and I know some types of modifications don't work and some work well. The latests results are shown above.
Knowing what works, I had an idea on how it may be possible to apply this to a another area of the lower plenum. I should be able to machine this additional modification to the lower plenum this week and dyno it on the same G35 sedan. I'll post the results and we'll see what it does to the power curve.
Wired 24/7 - If it makes additional gains (on top of the gains shown above) you can pre/post test it on your Z.

Thanx

Dont change anything but install the new modified lower plenum.
Same dyno, same day, no unstrapping and all that stuff.

Tony, does removing the material weaken the lower plenum or will the removal cause fatigue of the lower plenum over time? Thanks.

Very interesting, indeed. When you hitting the Dyno?
I would also like to see what it does with a Crawford plenum, as opposed to the spacer (though I have a Kinetix v4 plenum; should be about the same).
