so i was talking to my friend and i told him that im getting a blox intake manifold, and he told me i should stick with the stock gsr one, because i dont have cams....does anyone know if it will make a difference?...im currently running ctr pistons, and the i/h/e combo, with test pipe...will it make a difference?, seeing that it doesnt have secondaries?....

 

You really do need cams to take full benefit of the manifold. I wouldn't even consider it unless you have cams.

hhmm ok i see, well im eventually going to get the cams, but will it make a slight difference with stock cams?...a little hp, maybe?...

In the high end, but I am assuming you daily drive this and don't spend much time in the high end of the powerband. It will make your low end feel pretty soggy.

Get it if you can get a good price on it. THen keep it around until you get more mods

if you get it for cheap do it, I have one and my friend just installed his last night, I dont notice much low-end bog, but ones it gets into the high end it feels like it wants to keep pulling

there is far more ingenious design involved in the stock gsr manifold over the skunk2...I certainly would not say the manifold sucks...If youre into the hype...then yea jump on the bandwagon and toss your parts for reasons unknown..But its been proven way too many times by the actual numbers (dimensions of the manifold with respect to peak torque and operating range) and dyno's that the skunk2 design is suited for a powerband beyond what the gsr revs to..Peak torque is shifted up more (this high end surge ppl refer to) but in reality with stock gsr gearing...is that such a good thing?? (you want to land AT peak torque, not work your way to it on every shift)

 

which is better?
A)Skunk2
B)Blox
C)Stock manifold
D)None above

 

You can't pick just one because it needs supporting mods such as cams mentioned by another poster in this thread, the intake setup as a whole is a bunch of parts working together to breath, you dont just need lungs to breath, you need a trachea, throat, neck, epiglotis, mouth, nose, sinus, well you get the point.

 

so your saying that it will make a difference with stock cams?...im shure its better...so how is this non secondaries going to work from now on?....what the difference from stock IM?

And it makes your vtack really loud, so everyone knows how mad tyte JDM you are.

 

holy **** man, just rolling down the highway, and some guys with a 5.0 revs it, and all i have to do is just downshift, let them know i have a geeezer, and let my vtak pop, and as i slowly turn my head to look at their scared faces, one of them yells, "holy **** man, did you hear that?!!!, he has an IM", ima outa here

and that's how the story goes, i should make commercials on skunk 2 manilfolds....lol

 

True story, man. If you have a Skunk2, those 5.0's won't mess with you.

 

no no no, their called...five point slows
