Default the best intake manifold?

I was wondering which is the best intake manifold?? I was looking at Kinetix SSV Manifold. It also looks nice. I am putting on the Turbonetics turbo kit and want to get the most HP that I can.

I have the 35th anniversary edition 350Z with the revup motor. I have read that the spacers really don't do much for the rev up motors. is that true??

Powerlab 3/8" spacer works quite well.

ECLIPSEGST25,

+1. If you have a revup engine, a spacer by itself wont' do anything.

OTOH - MREV2 with 5/16" spacer makes the most gains of any bolt-on available to the revup engine.

Many independent reviews have been posted in this forum and others.

EDIT:
After you get your turbo kit installed let me know if you would like to do a pre/post dyno of the MREV2. Pre/post dynos while FI are rare. I can give you a discount on it and if for any reason it doesn't meet your expectations you can return it for a full refund.

Tony
