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?

skunk 2 = definately alot better flow over stock....and its designed with hp and flow in mind while the stock is gas mileage and emissions.....

Skunk2 will flow better than a ported stocker most likely. and you can still port match the skunk2/

ahhhhh shit...... cuz some guy was selling me one for $100. His ad said it was a skunk2 and brand new. I go and check it out and there was no Skunk2 engraving on top and it definitely wasn't brand new, thats y i didnt believe him that it was a 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

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.
