Best OEM intake/head combo for TQ
Sorry I know this isnt a Tech question relating to the chassis but. but this section get alot of hits..
I want to do an lsvtec setup. plan is a mild setup with stock cams and ecu meaning I dont want to exceed the stock rev limiter wether I go p28 or p72 ecu. question is. which combo will make the most low and mid range tq
(1)a stock b16 intake manifold with its small plenum and long straight runners.
(2)or a gsr intake manifold with the secondary butterfly system?
obviously the answer will influence what head I get. again i dont plan on reving past 8200. just want as much tq under the curve as possible.

this should be in the all-motor section... but i would say gsr head.
theres been a ton of threads about this, search b16 vs gsr head.
gsr head raises compression and promotes better flame travel + has more aggressive cams if you stay stock. the only problem would be the intake manifold and that's solved easily by buying a $150 blox intake mani.

I would ASSume the GSR intake manifold because of the secondary runners and such, Honda designed it for low to midrange torque and open the secondary's for high end power so..... That would be my GUESS
