Cool thanks also been reading about Intakes a lot of people saying JWT popcharger with the ztube is best overall. Kinda leaning towards that for the price and benefits any info?

5/16 spacer is an excellent mod. I like the r2c over the jwt which was my first intake, then I went back to stock before getting the r2c.

no. there is no need for the spacer for the V36 like there was for the V35.

Motordyne is making a plate for the V36 guys - seems super pricey but took Tony a lot of time to develop.

Can you give me any insight on your total gain from the 5/16 spacer, z tube and pop charger? I was looking at the same set up.
