Default Best head for mini-me?

i see in alot of threads that state the heads that u can use for a mini me

d16y8 d16z6 and jdm d15b

i wa wandering which head would be best overall performance / fuel economy (sounds weird but closest gas staion is 30 min) or are all of these heads so close to being equal it doesnt even matter which one i choose.

ive looked a bit, saw that since the jdm d15b is made for the 1.5 block it would be best. but i like to hear the opinions from HT, because you guys know your ****

im running a d15b7 in my 93 lx

thanks for the help

I would stick with the d15b or the z6 head, because they are both OBDI and converting would be a bitch and half. Plus, the z6 flows better than the y8, I'm not sure about the d15b though. I suggest the z6 head cause they are a dime a dozen and a good head. But use a y8 intake manifold.

y8 will give you slightly higher compression ratio. but there is a little more wiring/vaccum lines to deal with.

y8 is definitely the best intake manifold though

i would go with the y8, because your d15 dist. will bolt right to it!!!
