Default Is it worth going N/A?

A friend came up to me and told me he will uninstall my turbo kit and install his b16 head that is milled 40 thousanths and has a valve job on it, for my kit. How strong could this set-up be? Thanks

so.. is he taking your turbo kit in exhchange for giving you a b16 head?

what block do you have? (not like it will matter in this situation)

all motor will never even come close to make as much power as a turbocharged setup can do (on a 4 cylinder that is, v8's can easily do it but thats a different story)

yea the b16a head may have better flow, but it wont make up for the 100-150 hp u will lose in a turbo depending on your setup. You would also have to retune the setup after installing the head.

so ya save the bull ****, keep your **** the way it is!
