i got a b16a2 im changing the headgasket on it so ive decided to throw on a couple mods while im at it. ima put arp head studs cometic or oem headgasket(not sure yet) ctr cams itr intake manifold wit a thermal i/m gasket and a header.

my question is since im not heavily modding the motor will the itr manifold make me loose power throughout the powerband?

 

I have herd for b16's that have light mods like yours stick with the stock intake manny and don't go and spend the extra money on it, But if you already have it, I would put it on.

 

you probably will pick up an extra 1-2hp at 7-8000rpm

 

What he said, you will probably only gain a couple hp way up high. It doesn't seem worth the money...

 

any little gains help

 

I suppose... if you are made of money... You will probably lose some power on the bottom end though. The b16 intake manifold isn't all that restrictive for near stock power levels...
