Default What do you guys think ?

Right now I have a b16 with i/h/e and I can get a deal on a skunk2 mani. Do you think it would be worth buying now ? I was thinking of getting cams but the money is tight now an since I found this deal on a skunk2 mani I was just wondering if it would be worth it ? I read that I would loose mid range power with out upgrading the cams, any truth to this ? Wouldn't I gain top end power though ? Well just wondering what I should do. Thanks

Upgrading the mani with or without cams wont be noticeable(buttdyno)
Youll see improvement in the dyno though.

BTW- Also depends what the price is that you are getting the mani for.

I would save a lil more and atleast get used ctr or itr(00-01) cams, youll notice that(buttdyno).

Around 200 for the main, thats the cheapest I found so far. I am also planing on doing as much as I can in the long run but I'm gonna try to stay NA.

Save $100-$150 more and get some used cams, youll be alot happier.

Good point, anyone else have any thoughts ? Would the mani actually hurt with out any cams ?

Save your money and purchase the cams first. Do you really need to buy something right now? If you save, you'll get what you want in the first place.
