Default Blox intake mani worth it for N/A B16a?

I have a 90 Integra with a B16a and LS trans... here's the specs:

-PR3 head, mild port and polish, 3 angle v.job (professionally done)
-Supertech springs and aluminum retainers
-10.95:1 cast pistons, stock bore
-Blox Type B cams
-OBD1 P28 ecu, w/ conversion and all
-ebay header
-ebay cold air
-2.25" exhaust, w/ no cat.

Will I see any gains from this intake mani? will it kill my bottom end since I have an LS trans, Im already gonna be hurting....

And also how much power over stock do you think this set up will produce?

well yea, I plan on getting a street tune from a local kid who uses a wideband and datalogger.... but Im wondering if it will be worth the money and also if it will hurt the bottom end.

getting rid of the LS trans should be your first priority.

relax guy..

do a search, you'll see pretty minimal gains if any from an aftermarket or even ITR manifold on a b16.

as far as highway driving... keep the LS 5th gear, change the rest. Best of both worlds, acceleration and low rpm highway cruising.

but whatever, it's your car.
