Build Done, Now For Upgrades!

I'll second the skunk2 intake manifold and 65 or 68mm throttle body, I love my setup.

I would have to disagree, with a stock b16 head meaning cams, valvetrain, etc. the best manifold is the stock manifold. Changing it out to a skunk2 would not be that much beneficial. With the skunk2, you lose all of your low-midrange with a little gain on top.

And 62mm throttle body is the largest I would go with a stock b16 head.

didn't see that this was a ls/v build, sorry about that, the o.p. didn't state what motor this was. I thought he had a complete b16 motor.

wrong, it is the same casting, not the same head.

lol. IMO, his setup would benefit from the IM and TB.
My car will break the tires loose by punching it in first at any RPM... doesn't seem too much of a loss to me

I beg to differ.....Do i need to post my old vs new setup dyno sheet to prove this?

read my post carefully, I thought he had a complete b16 MOTOR.
