I've got a B16A3 from a Del Sol VTEC. I've also got type-r cams tuned on hondata right now. I also have the JDM ITR 4.785 final drive set. My question is, would the ITR manifold be a worthwhile upgrade? I was reading through some of the archived threads and it seemed like the argument was that you'd loose out on some low end with the ITR manifold, low end that the B16 already lacks. But, with having the shorter gears (final drive set) I believe I've made up for that bottom end, so in my situation do you guys think it'd be worth it?

EDIT: The car is headed for boost next, just something to add into the equation.

the final drive isn't the same? At 40mph in 4th gear i'm at 3,200 rpms.

It revs MUCH quicker and gets to the top end very quick, which is why I THINK the ITR manifold will help, but just wanted other opinions.

Another quick thought. Wouldn't the ITR manifold be somewhat of a bad idea with a stock b16 (PR3) head since the runners are larger and it would create turbulance when attempting to enter the smaller runners of the si head?
