before you do anything.. get a b16 tranny.. that is prolly the best MOD you can do right now... and you will notice how hard you pull..

LS/b16 tranny FTW

LS turbo. You dont need vtec.

Put down >300whp daily driven turbo or what like 200 all motor for the same price?

i think you will be happier with a turbo, the speed sound and feel compared to b16 head. if you did both someday then props to you.

First save your money and take some damn english classes.Then go ls-t.If something happend and you had to replace the head because you f'd it up, it would be alot cheaper to find another ls head and build it somewhat compared to the price of a b16/17/18 stock head.

LS turbo will get you way more than that on a good tune. 220 on a crap tune. my friend put down 240's on a SAFC hack. HONDATA would put you over 250's+easily with a good turbo kit
