Default Intake manifold questions Skunk2 vs. Edelbrock vs. stock for my setup

First off and foremost, Sorry for the newb question.

I just picked up a B16 that has the Skunk2 Pro manifold on it for dirt cheap (i just wanted it for the head). For my turbo setup i was looking at different manifold that would work for me.

Was looking at the Edelbrock, and the Skunk2, Or i heard the stock B16 flows pretty well.

What im looking to do is this:

B18B
stock sleeves
Wiseco 9:1 pistons 81.5
Eagle rods
blueprinted

B16 Head
supertech valves and retainers
GSR cams
ARP headstuds

Holset HX35 16cm
3" open downpipe

Dual Walbros
PTE 1000cc injectors

So which manifold is gonna be best for my setup and is gonna be best to get me to 550hp?

i like that set up you have. The B16a manifold is a good flowing mani for all motor.
When you boost your going to take more advantage of the larger runners and bigger plenum. I have a GSR in my civic with

95 gsr Block stock head
wisco 81.5mm 8.8cp
Scat h-beam rods
acl bearings (std size)
ARP Head and Main studs

Still looking for a Boost setup that i like

Im also looking to get rid of my gsr mani

from my understanding the JG manifold is made for boost applications. The skunk is more well rounded and works in FI and NA applications. With a holset, I'd say the JG.

wow id swear you were building my old setup...minus the 16cm housing...i ran a 12cm...

i also ran a skunk2 mani...had some decent low end torque, but after 5k the holset would wake up and just friggin hold on....

anything beyond 15-16psi w/ my open dp was just downright nuts!!! rip'n 235 bfgs in the top of 3rd is fun stuff!

OP: sorry to threadjack but since we're on the topic:

Would the Golden Eagle sheet manifold be better for a 350whp daily vs. the skunk2 and victorx?
