Default How much Headwork should be done??

I am going to do a small build, and boost around 16psi daily. I was wondering what kind of headwork do you all recommend? I have an LS motor, and i've heard the head flow is TERRIBLE, so would you all recommend a race PnP? Also, would u recommend some decent valves, like Skunk2? I don't plan on taking the rev's past stock. Let me know what you think!

does a B16 head flow better than an ITR head?

No, but they can be found a lot cheaper. B16 head plus some itr valve springs is a good setup and can be had pretty cheap.

I think it may just be worth doing an ls/vtec.

If you want to keep the LS head, just call up Alaniz, Endyn, or Portflow and ask them what kind of work they recommend. I called Alaniz one time and he seemed very helpful and didnt mind taking time in explaing what he can do for me. That would be better than getting a bunch of mixed opinions on the boards. IMO
