B18b buildup advice wanted
Internally, aside from forged rods and pistons, what parts should be upgraded for a high boost/ high horsepower application?
I've heard that the head is a big limiting factor, but I also don't know about the port size. Valvetrain/cams etc...?

Well I've seen quite a few setups making the power I want (400whp) using the LS head. They just didnt give specifics on internals.

please explain why.
let more air into the cylinders, or let more air into the cylinders. two different methods of achieving the samething.
EDIT: I guess when you say high boost high hp, i'm assuming like 18- 23lbs, anything more than that, i would start to think upgrade the other stuff.

You really have to switch to vtec head if you want to use your LS ones. To achieve your goal, you can get some serious headwork and you'll make the same hp level as vtec head does.
