skunk2 is a constant perfromer, made for mid to high range power. The victorx is made for power gains 7k+ and with a B18 you dont wanna go much higher then 8k.... so take your pick.

You also could get your stock one port and polished, see how that works for now...then once you go higher boost and get something a little bigger

since my motor is pretty much stock...
i'll be running 8psi max with 440 injectors

So i guess the b18b won't benefit much from victor x IM unless i buildup the motor with valve springs and retainers.

thanks guys

So will i notice any significant gain over the stock b18b IM with the skunk2

what about a B20nonVtec at .8bar and 7500RPM redline??? Im so tempted to get the Vector X, but am worried that it will just be a waist of money...and just add to the bling bling factor of my pretty motor...

I wouldn't go with the victor x on an ls. It's very important to have a good combonation. The ls motor really shines in the lower rpms and to install a manifold designed for high rpms would hurt performance more than it would help. If your ls was built for high hp and high rpm it would be a different story. I really wouldn't even put the skunk 2 on there unless you plan to rev higher. Stick with what you've got. If you want more power, turn the boost up 1psi!
