btw, you will find performance to be nearly identical between PR3 and P72 heads

yea the ports are bigger on gsr and comp chamber is larger on GSR than b16

yes performance records for 100% stock head gsr owns b16's

if u do go b16 head use a real ITR head it is a MIDLY factory P&P head with dual valve springs and larger cam

but ports and combution camber is were u power is made

hmmm, where to start.....

The P72 (GSR) head actually has a smaller combustion area which actually bumps up compression by .1 over a PR3 (B16/B18C5) head

As far as stock for stock, hp difference is about 2hp between the heads, i would hardly call that an "owning" LOL

technically, this is correct. It makes 4hp to the wheels more than a stock B16 head
