Icon2 type r intake manifold on B16...worth it?

okay so i got ITR camshafts, valvesprings and intake manifold to put on my B16A,
I hear that the teg r manifolds make you loose out on more torque due to the ports been oversized from the factory, so my question is... is it worth my while installing the ITR manifold on the B16A? is the torque loss worth the hp gain in the higher rpm? should i just leave the b16 intake mani on and do the shafts with map afterwards?

You loose both hp and torque. Do not waste your time loosing power. The 2nd gen B16 manifold is the best one out there (P30)

I have the stock b16a2 intake mani and it's cool, wanted a skunk2 but I don't think it'll help enough, since my blower is off. Is an aftermarket intake mani worth it?
