the tech forum is not a place to post drama. settle DRAMA over IM. Anymore bickering about headgaskets or bickering in general will be deleted from this point on.

Better cams, higher compression, Tri-Y header, and open up the air flow flow starting at the filter all the way to the tail pipe. General, but good.

It was not a problem, because I drive around with a Wideband permanently installed. 13.2:1 AFR's across the board.

I see that ARP has a different part number for b18c1 head studs and b20b with b16 head...what is the difference between these two? I could call ARP on monday but i figured i'd post it in here first.

Spoke to someone that spoke to ARP...according to ARP, the both kits use all the same part numbers, meaning they're exactly the same. ARP chose to create a new kit for b20vtec's to eliminate confusion with their customers. I know personally that both kits will work...never took the time to measure them or look into it further, but it makes sense to me.

Just for reference, the part number for the b20vtec head stud kit is ARP 208-4306.
