Better Maniford then ITR??
I was thinking Victor X, but... now I searched and all the posts were on Forced Induction. So the question is on NA engine is it worth to upgrade the IM and the throttle body? If so for which ones?
Duhhh the engine is b18c5

from what I have read about the victor-x, its a great top end manifold, makes best power in the high rpms so unless you want to rev really high, i wouldnt use it. The skunk2 seems to be pretty good and I also hear good things about AEBS.

Isn't most of honda's power in the top end? How much gain % wise, friend of mine has LS-vtec and victor x he estimated 5-10%. Now with bigger throttle body should I expect 10%, I mean 10% on ITR is a lot. But than will it not be overkill for NA engine?

from what I understand with the victor-x you gain power at like 8000rpm on a b18. Not worth it imo, the shunk2 and AEBS there is a better power gain lower. If you are trying to build a motor that only build power at 8000rpm, go for it but I personnally want daily drivable power everywhere.

Re: (jameskersten1)
I agree with you, i thought that the power band for the victor X wiould be lower then 8 G.
What about throtle bodies? Still worth it?
To get it staright. Would it be foolish of me to expect 10% gain from Skunk IM and throtle body??

and the 10% thing, personnally I would care more about useable and overall power instead of a peak number. When it comes down to it, a number is just a number on dyno, what the motor can do on a track, etc is what really counts.
