Intake Manifold for VQ35DE?

[LSU318to808]

So, I have the VQ35DE Engine and I am wondering which Intake Manifold gives the best performance output. When I do web searches on this topic it seems everyone either chooses the Kinetix SSV Intake Manifold, the Motordyne MREV2, or Cosworth Intake Plenum. I've read that Kinetix gets the best flow but lacks in quality, the Cossie people are disappointed in, and the Motordyne... people love but when I read dyno testing statistics for the MREV2, they say that it works best with VQ35 REV UP not the VQ35DE Non Rev UP... So, I am looking for a little feedback on which I should invest in.

Thanks,

Grant Millet.

cross kinetix off the list as a performance piece! The other two show gains is a huge difference in cost...make the decision for yourself...

never seen anyone disappointed with the cosworth but i deal with mostly FI people who have it. most people seem happiest just doing a spacer for a NA engine

I don't know that you're going to find any better bolt on performance than what you'd get from the MREV2 and a spacer. I'd free up some exhaust flow with one of MD's exhausts, unless you want to save weight and go with a single exit system and then go for a tune to take advantage of all the modifications, UpRev's Osiris is probably the best bang for your buck.

This is assuming that you're wanting to stay N/A, if you're leaning towards some FI Jerry is the resident guru around here.
