orrrrr, skunk2 manifolds are supposed to be really good.

#36463 yes it is a b16. ive heard good about skunk2 but ive also heard they are way over rated

#38705 I read somewhere (where people really know what they're doing) to get a Bloxx i/m and have it ported/polished.

Since they're S2 knock-offs you get a polished 'Skunk2' for the same price as a real Skunk2.

Personally, I don't want to take the risk that one of the injector bosses isn't good so my injectors will leak, or just won't close properly and leak where it goes onto the head... so I'll be using a Skunk2 i/m and pay the few extra dollars.

But to make things a bit easier for you;

Personally, I'd like either the Edelbrock Victor X or just the Skunk2, since I want boost in the near future.
Skunk2 is prob. the manifold I'm going to get.
A Professional Products tapered 68mm t/b is also on my wishlist ;)
Too bad I couldn't find a comparison between the Victor X and the Skunk2 :(

I don't know, but isn't Blox a B-grade manufacturer where Skunk2 is grade A?
