Thinking of installing MEVI is it Worth it???

Will the horsepower gain throughout the entire range be worth the MEVI upgrade? Or does it only effect the VQ over 5K RPM's. And also if anyone knows the part numbers for the MEVI that is greatly appreciated. I used to work at a Nissan Dealership Parts Department but can't find the part numbers for the MEVI?

Yeah its proven to have better numbers in the lowend, but its not a complete bolt on. There is some fabricating needed.
