i was always under the ipmression that a worked GSR head would outperform a worked b16/c5 head.

The two heads flow almost identically. The B16 chamber is slightly larger. The castings are slightly different. If you're buying a whole head with cams/valvetrain I would buy the GSR head/cams, as they are proven to be worth a lot of power over B16 cams. If you're buying a bare head, buy whichever is cheaper. You arn't really going to see much difference between the two.
