Default Should I buy this built head? How much power will I see?

I have a 2000 Civic Si with I/H/E and a CTR intake cam.

I was thinking about buying this head:

complete ported and polished B16a2 head w/CTR cams, dual valve springs, tit. retainers, ferrea spring seats, ferrea valves, ferrea valve stem seals, vtec solenoid, lost motion assy, cam girdles and caps, and cap hardware

How much power will I see with this? Is it okay to have a stock block with this head? If I do get it I will most likely get a tune afterwards.

Thanks!

how much? it's basically the same head you have now but with a p&p. why not just do a p&p on your current head?

Well I could get this head for around $400-500 and it has a few other things as well..

I want to do something to my car with my tax return money and I was debating on maybe getting/building a head or maybe getting a ZEX Dry kit. (35 shot)

What should I do? Wanna spend around $500 but wanna keep it reliable for a DD.

On a stock B16 even with a tune, you'll see a few whp at best...IMO its not worth your time
