Default Skunk 2 manifold??

I have a b18c1 in my 96 civic, all I have on it now is a intake and exhaust. Which in your opinion would give me more power, the skunk 2 intake manifold or port &polishing my stock manifold?

if you are going with larger cams, then go with skunk2 (top end will be improved), but if its for stocked cammed GSR with no other addons go with stock gsr

I am thinking about getting a b16 head to compliment my b20 bottom end. How does the b16 intake manifold compare to the skunk2 one? Should I save my money and get something else or is the skunk2 one worth it. What about some other intake manifolds available on the market?

Skunk2 has type R specs...If iweru, I'd get the CTR/ITR intake, it's slightly ported and bolts right on the B16

Wouldn't have it any other way.. If you want ALOT of NOTICEABLE POWER, do as hybrider93 says.. If u want a little less torque and little more power, get the skunk2 mani.. Don't get me wrong tho, the manifold is fkn great, it's just that, intake/exhaust + skunk2 is not an 'optimal' next step for the $300.. If u do get it, every single thing that has to do with breathing will give u THAT MUCH more power.. (ie. cams, headwork, header, ecu reprog, etc).. But again, get cams/ecu first, and TRUST ME, you won't be disappointed with your newfound/cheap power..
