Hey man, posted on like 3 of you threads tonight... I don't think you want to swap a head on that motor. The integra head is about the best thing that will fit that block other than the zc head and that probably wouldn't do too much for you anyway. I would suggest putting a good cold air intake on the motor, open up the exhaust (take out the presilencer and replace the stock muffler), if you have the dough and are serious about really making this thing go you could get a set of headers for the motor too (I might be able to find that for you if you wanted to go that route), also a lightweight flywheel would help a bit and I could prolly help you find one of those too. If you really want to go nuts you could consider a motor swap with something newer but it'd be a lot of work (new motor mounts, ecu, etc...) the only motor that is better that the one in your car is the zc version, but its only a slight upgrade and they are pretty much impossible to find. You're better off, in my opinion using the stock motor. You could also consider a small turbo charger which would work well with that motor but I seem to remember you saying you wanted to keep it N/A. Let me know more about what you want to do.
