it has benifits for the non-revup (unlike the previous MREVs), but it should still provide some ganes for the revup.
I'm interested to see how well it works on the revup. I'm considering it, but all the data that I've seen has been on the non-revup.

I believe MREV just has the lower intake port, the top part machined down a lil. thats the silvery part on top of the two lower plenum. MREV2 should have some slight porting/machining done to all the ports/runners so you should see some sort of color different in the runners itself. Can someone confirm this?

I've seen dynos where the 5/16 spacer gives more gains than the MREV2. With both combined is only about 3-5 more whp.

I figure I will just get the spacer and forget about the MREV2, I'm getting more bang for my buck with the spacer alone.

Check the power band though. The spacer alone for the revup motor gives you gobs of torque and more power under the band rather than peak hp.

But adding MREV to the price your looking at $700

Question is, is it really worth it? You can get the same power from a Y-Pipe...

i don't think that extra 5hp or so justifies that 150% price hike over the mrev+

I found out what I do have is the MREV2. Tony, as everyone has stated at Motordyne, is a great guy. He took the time to explain everything to me and not make me feel like an idiot (ok that will get quoted)

The MREV2 has mroe machining across runners 5 and 6 that is easily noticeable.

From what I read across these forums using the search button heavily is that most people paid over 300 for their mrev+ and are reselling at such a price of $300. Therefore, the price hike isnt anywhere near 150%. it did go up a little over a hundred dollars though.
