ITB's are a bitch to tune so unless you got a good dyno tuner and alot of loot, i would go with mods other than the ITB's, id say go LS VTEC if you know how to build motors and if you do it right. just putting the head on is the easy part anyone can do that, but keeping it reliable is another story

the ceramic headers crack. dc headers suck when trying to make power because they have small primaries and collector. the jdm 4-1 is ok. fyi, my ceramic dc hasnt cracked, yet. and when you put itb's on an engine you're obvisouly trying to make some power. unless you want them for bling which is gay as ****.

if you plan on making a bunch of power a DC header is not for you.

RMF or Hytech are good choices...

yo go with a ls-vtec. you get more torque from the ls bottom and you can rev like crazy with a b16 and the vtec hits harder. the only thing is if you dont research and know what your doin and dont build it right its goin to blow on you. do research and do it the right way.

Wow this is off topic......
personally i think that the creator of the form needs help bc he is buying stuff this weekend.
If you are putting Itb's on ur car, then u need more work done to ur car,
if your not looking to make power, wat are you looking for??
and B16s arnt that great of a motor, they just have the suposid "perfect rod strok ratio thingy" that is why they get reved harder than bigger blocks
