Port And Polish or Skunk2 Manifold?

By CaliEJ2
- Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:07 am #103610 ok so i can get hooked up for a port and polish on my B16A intake manifold but i was also thinking of getting a Skunk2 manifold. Would there be more options if i do the port and polish or if i should just go for the Skunk2?

The mani itself wont give you much but it will allow other upgrades to work better and make power
for example:
if you pnp+skunk2
then get cams, they'll make more power than with stock

yea i also plan on doing a port and polish on the head and getting some cams for it, and i alredy have some AEM cam gears. Probably going to get these cams.... http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd. ... oduct=4140 ..... Skunk2 are too much $ for me. Are these Blox Cams reliable?

- Wed Mar 25, 2009 7:49 pm #105705 since im on a budget im thinking of changing plans. not so sure about spending money on cams at the moment.

if i port and polish the head, add a Skunk2 manifold and port match it, will there be a noticeable difference? will i need a tune? if i do head work do i have to do work on the short block also? i dnt want to waste money on things that i dnt have to. Any help will be much appreciated, thanx.
