Default sohc upgrade

Will a Skunk 2 cam gear and intake manifold increase my automatic 1.6 sohc vtec engine's power? Will I even notice a difference? Will I need a new ECU?

cam gear wont do jack to your car...it just moves your powerband....and as for intake manifold...I dont think it will help much unless you do some other mods to get some more air in to your engine..my advice...turbo.

Have to agree with everyone else. Since you are auto, a turbo is the most cost-effective way to make power.
