Default B20 VTEC OR NON VTEC FOR BOOST

bought a civic with a b20b bottom end and a gsr head. both are completely stock internally. i'm wanting to make around 200 ftlbs. should i stick with my gsr head or go back to a b20/ls head? i'm not looking to upgrade internally just want a simple build. car will be tuned by tony @ t1 here in dallas. what are your thoughts? i have to pull the head due to a cosmetic oil leak at the gasket anyway so then would be a good time to swap heads. car supposedly has arp head studs but new ones are already coming. all info is greatly appreciated.

that's what i was thinking, i'm also debating on buying an intake manifold (leaning towards the edlebrock) only going to be using a ported stock t/b. any suggestions there? this car is a daily driver i don't want it to be all beaterish in a sense, just good passing power. i thought i should mention that. also leaning towards an intercooled greddy setup w/ 440 injectors.

VTEC Heads flow better....just taking THAT into consideration, I'd go w/ a VTEC head....not to mention VTEC, itself. Especially since you don't have to spend anything else for VTEC!
