Default Skunk2 cams/ valve springs????

Hi everyone, im a little concerned on whether i should go for a skunk2 intake manifold or not.
does anyone have any experiences with this manifold? if so are there any noticible gains... i just have an AEM cold aire and a DC Sports SS header.
stock exhaust.
would the manifold alone get me some decent gains
one other question, any info on the skunk2 stage 1 camshaft and their valve springs
the dyno plot shows a 21 hp gain on a b18c engine with the stage 1 cams/ manifold.
should i upgrade me ITR's cams and manifold is is the OEM one better
any info would be great
thnks in advance guys

If you have an ITR, then no, you should not get the Skunk2 intake manifold. It is the same as the ITR manifold and was really originally intended for B18C1 motors that were being modified.

the dyno plot shows a 21 hp gain on a b18c engine with the stage 1 cams/ manifold.
Just a caution to be very careful when you start modifying the car to that extent. It opens up a whole 'nother world of hurt, and can make for catastrophic failures that neither Honda nor Skunk nor your supplying retailer will help you with.

I'd get timing gears and a computer before I got new cams. Seriously. I'm at about 190 Dynojet HP w/stock cams.
