Default B16 head + gsr block= lower compression with no modification ?

My dilemma:

I may purchase a gsr block w/ CTR pistons, but don't want to use an extremely high compression, so instead of using the GSR head, I was thinking of swapping for a B16 head/manifold to get a slighly lower compression (and better mani) What I am wondering is...
1) Will the B16 bolt up to the GSR block no problem, no modification ?
2) What is the difference in compression with a B16 head from factory vs a GSR head ? -0.2 ?
3) Will the B16 mani adversely affect the low end drivability before vtec ?

Thanks in advance

3) the low end power will not be hampered in any way if you went B16A head + intake manifold.

Thanks guys...

The low end would be nice on the motor too, considering the higher comp pistons...

It only lowers it .3 points. Still gonna be pretty high. You will go from like 12:1 to like 11.7:1.
