keep the stock one. all those manifold's are designed for top end power. you'll lose what little low end and mid range you currently have.

a lot of the manifolds are designed better to perform up top, but i dont see you losing any bottom end. i have a blox manifold on my gsr motor it seems to work good but without a tune you cant really tell if your car has gotten better flow.

blox and skunk 2 are both good manifolds. it seems like the pro series skunk has performed better then the orginal and the blox. the blox and skunk 1 are suppose to be exactly the same.

i think i would have gone with aebs because ive seen a lot of dyno's where the aebs has outperformed the blox and skunk 1. but the aebs, people say has some mediocre finishing work.

also if your getting it tuned talk to your tuner some tuners like the type r manifold.

i think if i were you i would go with the aebs or the pro series skunk but the skunk i believe is out of you range. so either go with the aebs or fork out some more money for the pro series. dont quote me on the pro series price havent looked in a while

Stock.

And you might want to add a b18c5 block to your list.

IMO, the bore/stroke of the b16 is a terrible n/a platform if you have any serious goals. You'll spend $3000 making a b16 as fast n/a as a b18c5. And still not have the c5 potential.

edelbrock is a good mani, but more for turbo considering it lacks down low but is great up top and is a bit pricey compared to others. edelbrock is more for the bigger power guys.
