actually motordyne sold the stock unmodified non-rev-up lower plenum as the MREV before the MREV+ or MREV2 and it has been dyno proven to increase torque when put on a rev-up engine:

Without the spacer your max HP might suffer but according to the engineers at at motordyne you can get gains with the spacer and stock-non-rev-up lower plenum and spacer, which would be greater than running the spacer alone on a rev-up engine

Thought i would pass the word.
NTB Grapevine off 121 and grapevine mills
Offers a general Forum discount on their alignment specials. The guys that work there are moderators for some of DFW's import forums.
3 year unlimited alignment $127.49 w/tax included - regular $149.99 + tax
5 year unlimited alignment $161.49 w/tax included - regular $189.99 + tax
Also, look online, because sometimes there are specials
sign up with your email to receive specials as well at NTB.com
EDIT: They have an in-ground alignment rack. SO does the location at Campwisdom and 360 in Grand Prairie - which is less than a mile from my house. - so anyone wanting to do camber kit installs, etc can take care of alignment same day after the tech day install.
Also, I plan on doing some suspension install work on my own car, so im taking my car in on tech day to NTB also.....

no problem on the main fluid flushes you guys...
BUT, see my post11 on this thread about the clutch fluid flush! if you guys wanna do the clutch, ensure you purchase the wilwood products and all the parts by then.
pm me your email and i can fwd you a wilwood quote with the itemized parts on the email they sent me so there is no confusion.
Neverlift and I will be doing this to our cars this day as well! i already ordered the wilwood parts for me!

Will y'all still be cranking around 2:30-3:00 ish? I have work till 2 that day and I would be coming from downtown.
I would like to help and learn about some stuff if possible. I got some coilovers to put on but I would like to do them myself in my garage, so maybe I can shadow someone and learn a few things.

Hey Jason, I was wondering how do you like your cordless impacts? I was thinking about getting a Makita one. Are they strong enough to spin bolts out? IE. changing out suspension.

last i checked though, they werent stocking them anymore and now have one called the: 24volt Allegheny Cordless impact.
http://images.fixya.com/I/Impact/118...7276656b51.jpg
my brother in law has the allegheny and it works just as great - i honestly think they are the same thing, just labled different/differnt housing.
I would say get one of those for sure.
they work great on any spot really with the right extensions, wobble extensions, etc....
both are about 99 bucks usually, and sometimes on sale for 79.99.

Jason, could you help me out with installing front cambers? I noticed you'll be doing some suspension work that day and I need to get rid of my SPCs and replace it with SPLs. As you can see I'm already on the list but I would like to make this my priority now instead.
