Default Edelbrock or Skunk 2 Intake Manifold for GSR

Are the Edelbrock Intake Manifold for GSR any good? i heard alot of good things about the Skunk 2 Intake Manifold, but haven't heard much about the Edelbrock. So yeah, just wondering which one is better? Cuz i'm planning to get a Intake Manifold for my JDM B18C GSR. Thx Guys!

For most NA builds, the Edelbrock Performer X is the best manifold.

Victor X has short fat runners vs longer and slightly smaller runners. Victor X is meant for high RPM power on a 1.8L race engine or is well suited for many B20 builds. Performer X dominates on 1.8L builds and does well on B20 builds.

I've never seen a 1.8L with your mods make even close to that power level. Ever run it at the track?

who tuned it? (your car)

A B20 would be hard pressed to make anywhere near those numbers (260hp/232tq) and even a K series would have trouble touching that torque level. Something is seriously wrong with the dyno I'd say.

mike @ PSI in MD, there are tons of b18s pushing around 250 with the right setup, my number should be higher now with ITB's and custom long tube race header
