I would think that anything that improves flow would be a plus. Did your buddy give a reason why it wasnt good for boost?

It's better then stock but I've heard more good things from the Victor X but Skunk2 just sounds better then rocking Moroso in your honda. lol. I've heard good stuff about the Blox and if you wanted to really save some money the *gasp* XSpower surprisingly makes a exact copy of the Skunk2 for like 150 and you get a free BOV and Fuel rail.

lol i already got the skunk 2. just got it today. it was 249.00.

he didn't give me a reason he just said the victor x was better for boost. he said why not send an extra 100 bucks to do it right the first time. he has one on his B16 that he actually just blew lol. 330hp at 12psi. fried a ringland.

victor X is made by edelbrock, not moroso.

the skunk 2 works great with boost, you will like it. I have never tried the moroso/hurst/edelbrock though

do the victor x (or whatever the name is of the one made by edlebrock) have the open ports for the extra injectors? or is that only for the performer x in the d16 kits?

anything that flows more air will help you out, and the money that you save you can put into other things

the only thing you would really need to worry about it buying a cheap product with poor construction, because if it cracked then it obviously wouldnt be worth it. you don't always have to give in to what everyone says is the best...
