Default Skunk2 Manifold vs. JG Mani?

Anyone have a dyno sheet for the skunk2 mani? I want to compare it with the JG one. So if possible a sheet showing the gain just from the mani.

The JG manifold is more geared towards forced induction (tuwbo). Go skunk2 if you go NA, and JG if you go Turbo.

on a lightly modded (such as yours) gsr it would make it SOOOOO SLOW off the line! you have dual intake runners and the JG is ******* STRAIGHT. you would lose TONS of low end for a wee bit of high end power. it's not worth it unless you are boosting A TON and need all the flow u can get. go for the skunk2. even with that yo'll be losing GOBS of low end.

the skunk 2 manifiold is an exact copy of the itr intake mani but it fits the gsr....
if you look at the curve of the runners its more oriented for the b16 / b18c5 head... where as the runners on the jg mani are more the shape or the orig gsr manifold... the jg manifold will benifit the gsr head more than the skunk 2
and your not gonna see the same losses as w/ the skunk
the only thing is , that it fuggin says jg edelbrock on the top of the manifold in big ghey writing

'Lose GOBS of low end'

I would also like to know... Just in case you didn't know, a Skunk2 IM will not make your GS-R lose GOBS of low end.

I would like to see a dyno with bolt ons with and without the Skunk 2 mani,I bet with basic bolt ons the dual stage will make more power.

they're basically the same damn thing. Thing is Honda never made a type-R style manifold for the GSR head (flange bolt pattern is different)...and that's where Skunk2 stepped in, making their own manifold which is a copy of the ITR manifold but with a GSR flange/bolt pattern. IMO, they're equally the same... but you'll make more compression if you use a GSR no matter what.
