like the topic states, what would give more hp on a basically stock b18c1? The skunk2 intake manifold or a ctr intake cam?

Also, I've been getting some white smoke out of my exhaust ONLY when i go into WOT. I've been thinking about burning radiator fluid (implying a bad head gasket), but the oil is fine and the radiator fluid level is good. Could the problem be a catalytic converter going bad? Thanks

 

CTR cams will give more than the S2 IM, but the go better together. Have the cake and eat it too. The white smoke is nothing but if it's consident then it might be just your cat. Nothing i would worry too much...

 

CTR cams...

...Blow By?

 

ctr cams for sure.....after the cam upgrade u will beable to roar vtec louder all tho both will give u high end but the cams is a must....like someone b4 me said both together= nice combo plus a nice intake too....that is sweet thats what i use to have when i first brought my car....skunk2 im, aem type R cai, and itr cams, apexi vafc...this was sweet

 

definitly cams, if you go with camS. the numbers for just an intake cam could be comparable to a new intake mani (i couldnt tell you exactly cause youd be hard pressed to find numbers for just one cam ) about the smoke, i think you can find out by your self. when you take off the valve cover, to do the cams or IM just dig a little deaper to check the head gasket. also check your engine bay at idle, if its your head gasket you may be able to see it leaking from teh crack between your block and head.
