the b16 casting flows better.

But after porting, it really doesn't matter.

A while back, I remember seeing a post by ImportReview about which is the better head. According to what I read, (I might be wrong, my memory is bad.), the GSR Head did better than the Si/TypeR head. I forgot what was the reason, something about being more direct and better for turbo use.

*Disclaimer: I know there are actual model names out there for heads, unfortunately I do not know them off the top of my head.

This might be useful. http://www.importreview.com/reviews/...sB16Ahead.html
