"the length of the runner has a strong effect on the ammount of air that actually gets into the chamber during the intake valve cycle when the engine is not in boost. . . . Here, it is suffuicient to say that higher speed engines tend toward shorter intake runners. Low-speed and mid-range torque generally shows gains from longer runners. Turbo applications best results with long runners, which provide a braod flat torque curve at low speeds, while the turbo keeps the top end strong."

I guess that's why there's an STR fuel rail on my CRX... I know I wouldn't buy one on my own, that's for sure.

I don't know where you read it was only for turbos, the fastest all-motor car uses STR and he's had no problems with it. So check into it a little more or go to the links below.

The first is STR's website info about it and the second is Erick Aguilars website and he holds the world-record for the fastest all-motor honda running a 10.07.

u should just buy a skunk2 im...they are one of the best brands and for some reason, they are one of the cheapest as well....
B, i actually heard that str was a pretty decent brand. i dont run any of their parts, but i heard they are pretty good as far as quality and performance goes. i still say go with the skunk2 manifold though.

Supposedly the second gen AEM gears don't slip because they've added a flange/washer under the bolt head. My engine uses Skunk2 gears though... I still doubt AEM's quality on just about everything but their intakes.

and i even said "fuck them" on the intake too
Notice that I'm not using one on any of my cars either.
just wanted to add in some info on cam gears slipping. IMHO the best thing to do wth cam gears, if you are worried, then go with any camgear that cannot be adjusted past 5 degrees =/-. Toda, Jun, and I believe Spoon can't be adjusted more than 5 degrees and if they do slip, chances are your valves won't make contact with your bottom rotating parts.

Use Skunk2 I am pleased with the quality of there parts!
ya but the problem is that no one has a skunk2 manifold for a D16z6. I have a chance to get this intake for cheap but i am not going to run a turbo so would this help at all on a NA engine. I can get a new STR intake for like $300 and the retail is like $720 so its a hella deal but i dont want it if it wont work
