Default JDM B16A build up

I just got a JDM B16A block and i was wondering what is the best head to put on it? Should i just stick with the B16 head. And if i do, should i spring for the JDM version or just get the USDM. Is there that much of a difference? Any help would be great. Thanx

- stick with the head
- put cams in at the least
- get a 1.8L block (i prefer GSR (over ls/b20) because you dont have to deal with oil lines and you have a crank girdle already)
- port the head at Portflow and get valves, valve springs, and retainers (if you still have money)
- get some JE pistons... 12.5:1

just a suggestion.....

Are you wanting to keep costs down, or go all out right off the bat?
