Yes.

BUT. I hope your planning to make some serious power, and if you are, I'd advise you to take advantage of the vtec heads.

Why?

On your basic 200-300whp LS setup, all you need is a Skunk2/Blox intake manifold. Tested on a 318whp setup, adding a Edelbrock manifold LOST 25whp on the same psi, retuned.

+1 on that. a b18b head (boosted) will be hard to get anything over 400whp or near.The head just simply cannot flow enough for those power levels. if your going with a strictly forced induction intake manifold,id strongly advise you to switch heads.And to be honest,despit what head you go with,if your not planning on putting up big numbers (500+) id suggest you go with a better intake manifold for your power levels,like a skunk 2 or blox. like jarrod said,unless you plan to put down some serious power,it might hurt you then help you.
