Default Dilemma....spend the cash on ITBs or go with reworked stock mani/big tb/ and velocity stack

As the time grows near to drop my old H22 into my new dc2 chassis I am faced wiht a dilemma....should I spend the extra cash on the itbs (and go DP with the juice) or should I get a reworked stocker with a big tb and nice velocity stack? Do you guys really think the extra 7-800 dollars is worth it for the itbs. Ive really been scratching my head about this for the last month or so and i cant decide.

And yes, my setup can handle it....11:1 CR, crower 2bs and valvetrain, hondata, ect. ect.

PS-its not daily driven, so you can consider it a 1/2 track car and 1/2 play car

Please help!

I love ITBS... but for the $$$ it costs to get ones that perform your options are better to stick with a traditional IM... JG makes a great NA one as long as your not putting the h22 into a prelude (ugh)... Thats the route I would go.... I hope your exhaust system is going to match your IM in flow capability..

i have this same delimma right now I have the ITBS and the stock manifold. It depends on if you want to lose all that bottom end torque I guess to increase peak hp. I think I will probably not use the ITBs on this motor since it would be a shame to lose the decent low end and midrange this engine produces to gain only a couple ponies and a cool noise on the top end.
