Tried searching but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for.

I wanted to know if I could still use the Stillen front strut tower bar? Or should I just go with the 5/16 spacer. I wanted to get the V+ for the lower temps with added HP.

With either setup, will I have the get the engine tuned? I'm already running a Stillen intake and exhaust (installed soon).

Pretty sure that you won't have a problem with the FSTB. The stillen should clear a 5/16 spacer which is the most common and I don't think that the V+ is much higher than that if at all. The only real problem people run into is not being able to put on the cover, but with your plenum i'm sure you're not using that cover anyways.

I don't care about the G35 engine cover. I was planning on putting on the CF 350Z cover instead and I think I have seen that cover used with the V+ or spacer.

Just to be clear the Stillen front strut tower bar will work with the V+?

I know it works with the 5/16 spacer. The safest way is to call STILLEN direct.

http://www.stillen.com

but I DOUBT you will have any issues...I just don't want to be the one blamed if there is a problem.

and you can try calling kinetix directly as well http://www.kinetixracing.com

BTW, the V+ plenum is the same size as the 5/16" spacer

kinetix also makes a fstb...it uses spacers to be raised high enough off the top of the shocks to clear the v+ plenum...i use it and it's worked fine for me....

but i do use mostly stillen products when i can....just bought this before stillen had one for the sedan.....

Go with the Circuit Sport Strut bar.

Its one piece, and VERY light. Also its very strong. It will fit nicely over the 5/16" spacer and much better IMO.
