how good is this manifold and does it compare to the victorx???????????????

 

good for his price...getting one soon after i take care of all these bills

 

I just wanted to get a few opinions on it.. I am also wondering how their valves springs and retainers are?

skunk2 manifolds are basically better for well rounded setups...like low reving,mid range,and top end setups..where as victor X manifolds are designed for top end high revving setups...just research about long runners and short runners...

but remember,with most manifold changes..you will gain power in one area,and most likely lose it in another..so know where you want your powerband to be,and where you want that power to go..unless you get a good tuner,who can compensate for both sides.

 

ok thanks I am just to decide what motor b20/b18b to run I want to ls/vtec and was looking at a few manifolds.. the motor is going to be turbo and I want to aim for 350+ hp so If I can get some of the parts now that I would need later it would be good.. I guess I should stay away fro thevictor x cause the b20 stock can rev that high.. but it would come in hand on top end power with a turbo

are you going to run ls vtec right now? or later?? if you plan on switching out for a Vtec head..just wait,and get a Victor X..it will help out in the long run...i mean either way..upgrading to a manifold with better runners,and ports,is going to help your motor breathe a lot better..they are both good manifolds,but both are designed for different gains,and setups.

also..dont forget to upgrade your throttle body size...nothing like bottle necking your airflow

 

I wouldnt mind upgrading now but I want to save a bit for a b16 head.... then get the manifold and throttle body.. I am currently tryin to find articles on manifolds, runner and throttle bodies so I can have a better Idea of which to buy...... articles are hard to find though
