Default just looking for a little input.......

what is the best possible setup for ls/vtec? one of my friends told me that a b16 head is the best way to go. can i just put a b16 head on a stock ls bottom? i know there is more to it than just throwing a head on a block.

thanx for the input,
jason

As said above you should search, but yes that is a good combo...a quality ported b16 head would be even better!

ctr pistons are heavy and have a huge dome. your compression is going to be very high with them in a b18 block.

you shouldnt use them. p30's or jdm p73's give a much more reasonable cr and have a much smaller dome.

you can make more power and be safer with less cr and running more ignition timing. rather than having to pull lots of timing with a high cr.
