I hear from a mate of mine, that people from the US say, this is a great setup..
Intake; Edelbrock performer X + Carbon (J's) Whale penis
Engine; B16b
Header; Toda V2 + ITR/Ek9 catback
True? If so, i will get this. lol

Don't get the Edlebrock Victor X. The plenum is WAY too big for the air requirements of the engine.
That's a great start to a great setup. Hell that would be a great setup for a quick daily, to be honest. If it's power you're looking for, cams are your friend.

Those J Racing intakes are pure gimmick and no science. A standard CAI is better.

That intake setup is a waste. Too big and pointless. Stick with the stock manifold and get a nice CAI. AEM makes good ones.
The motor it self is a great motor, though still a 1.6 liter in the end.
A hy-tech, rage and type header will be what you want. Toda makes great cams, but they want you to run their springs and retainers for the bests performance. The main reason I never got mine in the motor. Toda parts are expensive. There are many cams you can choose that will make good power. Tuning is another thing you will want.

i see what ur saying but it looks like it would help way better than the stock manifold

it will. Its just not made the same as the real one. Its still a good header. most likely the same one I would get, since it wouldnt last long in my car.
