anytime you add more compression and matching cams, you add performance.

Yes it will be noticable in that it should show up on a dyno.

As for "worth" that is between your and your pocket book, we cannot comment on what something is worth to you.

yeah after i finished building my b16 head i planned on throwing some ctr pistons w/ eagle rods on there.. i'm assuming the only difference in the b16b block and the b16a block is pistons and rods?

You said "i'm assuming the only differences are...blah blah"

I said no you're wrong, I never said that you stated it. Sorry to come off as a dick? it's all love daddy.
