Default poor man's r

ok so i would like some in put on my future set up so here it is

b18c1 block (2000 usdm)
GE sleeves
ls crank
Manley rods
weisco pistons

gt35r .82 a/r

Neptune

b16a head mild p&p and a 3 angle valve job
full ferrrea set up
gsr cams
GE cam gears and fuel rail with aeromotive fpr
PSI Proformance turbo manifold
gsr throttlebody
this is where I need some input I have itr intake manifold I was planning on having it ported along with the tb but would it make more sense to buy a turbo manifold and use the bored out tb or use the p&p itr manifold?thanks in advance

what type of driving will you doing street/strip. I'd say leave it if your going street cause using the itr intake mani will gain lots of high end but you'll sacrifice your mid-range. Your setup looks fine as is.

sounds like a good setup, but maybe a little more aggressive cams to pick up some more revs/hp?

The GE manifold is a lot more money for basically no performance gain over a VictorX.

he has an ITR manifold already, I think he should use that one with a hondata spacer. I dont see a significant power gain for spending another $200+

and as far as p&p, i would touch an ITR manifold, unless you got done professionally and flow tested.

He could easily sell that itr im for $150 and get a used victor x for ~$200.

Ditch the exspensive block that your gonna make ls anyway. Ls block vs that block you'll save 400 easy. Screw the cam gears you won't even use. Save your self money on the head and just get the parts to beef it. You could hit your goal without those things. You said poor right. Good choice on the header. I have the str intake on my motor in daves garage. 3 bills check it out. i'll have your traction bars done soon.

Jeff Evans has been seeing massive gains tuning the cam gears on all the cars he tunes, so I wouldn't exactly say they're garbage or useless.

Right, it would be awesome to loose oil squirters, a main cap girdle, and stiffening webbing on the block.

I didn't say cam gears are garbage or useless. Easy there axe to the head I run ls blocks with girdles and save myself some money. They are more than strong enough for what he wants.
