are you planning on upgrading the injectors or getting a tune to help with the offset of the AFR for bigger intake and TB?

they are good parts. the only part I've had a problem with is their Throttle body the throttle position screw came loose on mine and made my throttle stay open. uhm but you wont get much hp increase out of that. maybe 10-15 hp. but you should look at getting a tune and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and better headers and a 2.5" exhaust.

also im assuming this a b series type r. XP

Port your type-r, more power can be had for less money.

Stock fuel rail is good for A LOT of power. No need to change it, only the fuel injectors and regulator. That is, if you're looking to do cams and valve-train. If you already bought it, no harm done.

Type R engines do not need porting, they are already ported from factory and are the best flowing B-series vtec head. Not worth the $ to port the type R head unless you're looking for drag/dyno-queen power.

marshall12395, do you have a specific power goal and budget?
