Default Intake manifold question

For B series running N/A set up is it best to run ITB's or a really good intake manifold or maybe get my stock one ported, please share personal experiences with any of these set up's.
Thanks

I believe ITB net the most power with the right setup. It all depends on what you have done already. If you have really agressive cams and a high compression motor and all that good ****, ITBs and a good tune should do the trick. If you have stock cams or stage 1 cams and what not porting you stock manifold and TB or getting a slightly larger TB and better flowing IM should be enough.

It's plain and simple: You do not need to use an aftermarket intake manifold unless you are running bigger cams and/or higher compression. You will, in most cases, lose power and feel like an idiot for spending the money on it. If you're stuck on changing the IM on your B-series, go for an ITR IM. They flow well and are OEM

True. But remember, they only fit on ITR, B16, B17 heads.

Only downside to ITBs is that there not NHRA/NDRA legal
