the B16 head has a slightly larger combustion chamber so you lose a little compression but it flows better.

6 one way half dozen the other.

While the head's off add some higher cr pistons and you're pretty close to an ITR motor. Add cams and you're even closer still.

Make sure you've got a good ECU and not the P72 GS-R one if you're running the B16A intake manifold

A re-chipped P28 is good too. kenji here at H-T does it very well and cheap - IM him
