do i need an after market intake manifold?
im working on my 1st turbo build and wondering if an intake will make much of a difference. i understand an after market will probably have a bigger better plenum and probaly flow better but im wondering with forced induction since its getting forced in will an aftermarket make a difference over stock. my build is a d16z6 gonna be bored to 75.5 with 9.0:1 cp pistons probably the comp 59300 cam, 68mm throttle body, and 550 injectors, running a greddy td04. and it will b professionaly tuned. im hoping to get as close to 300 whp as i can so im trying to figure out if the intke will help or if i could put that money towards something else. and if i do need an intake which would b the one to get. i had the skunk 2 on my lsvtec but im not sure for this build. neways thanks for all the help

stock cam will make 300, intake manifold isnt nessesary for that power level, it may give a little better powerband with a skunk2 unit.

If you could find a decent used one it wouldn't be the worst investment but for your power goals I would just hold off.
