    B18 intake manifold... Is it worth it?

    Now that the car is up and running I want to add a few things to it. I'd like to pick up a skunk2 intake manifold, but before I spend the money, is it worth doing?

    The building of a beast. Those are some pretty nice N/A mods. I think the B16 cam gears work

    Re: B18 intake manifold... Is it worth it?

    yeah i left mine last...after i did cam, cam gear, lighten fly, stage 3 clutch, short gears. the only thing stopping me was that i need a daily driver first before i go out and take my engine apart...plus my low compression on my 3 cly scares me from revving it alot
