Default Y8 Mani worth the swap?

I currently have a d16z6 (with stock intake manifold).. and have a y8 manifold that I'd like to swap it out for. Im running t25 on 8lbs of boost.

I have talked to a few people, who all have different opinions on the matter. I wanted to know what you people think.. and if you feel it will help me, or hurt me, as far as power gain.

if running boost, better figure out how to add 7-10% extra fuel to #3 cylinder.

NA, Z6 intake is better, but what do I know.

i always thought the y8 mani's were better considering the plenum/runner size an length,and also in sport compact car or another mag they recently did a test on a y7 equiped civic swapping to a y8 mani and gained 15 whp on the swap so as far as better i would say the y8 if you are starting with a y7.

The way I see it, a D series, t25 and 8 lbs. It aint worth it. Your better off selling the y8 and banking some $$.

exactly. You will need a new gasket possibly plus all the work of taking it off and ----. Just sell it and call it good.

if being slow = pretty badass, I'd rather be normal and fast.

There is a reason I stayed with the Z6 intake, yet I have tested a Y8/GSR TB
