Default D16Z6 head on a D15B7 block?

Hello for the second time today.

I've been itching to start doing some performance stuff on my new 94 DX with the D15B7. And, short of an entire swap, the thread that seems to be pretty enticing is the head swap listed above. I know nothing (yet) about these guys so I just wanted to throw the question out there until I have time to really do my homework.

I know how to use the search button. Just thought it'd be nice to hear everyone's two cents.

If you've got any other tried and true performance tune tips I'm all ears.

Thanks

Ultimately a swap that does not live up to the hype. Also, if not executed perfectly, you will have nothing but issues. Save up for boost or a swap.

My suggestion is to do your homework and ask specific questions afterwards. I can't vouch for the hype but I can vouch for the issues. I'd like to try it again personally for the sake of actually knowing first hand if it is all hype. I'm sure if you've never really rode/driven in faster cars then this headswap would probably be perfect for a good learning experience but at the end of the day the gains are minimal. You'd appreciate a 1.6 block/fullswap in my honest opinion (coming from experience there).
