Default VTEC head or B16 tranny

Aight guys what do you think I should buy first. Which ever I get first the other will have to wait quite a while due to tight funds. My set-up is a stock B20/LS tranny(long *** gears) stock headers stock everything except for an intake. I love that glue to the seat feel. Also this will be after I get all the other **** I need like some headers and all.

Get the head first, your gears will seem shorter, faster acceleration. The B16 head with ITR cams, will be a nice set-up but this is where your preference kicks in.

If you're just going to slap the head on their without upgrading the bottom end with lets say ARP rod bolts, then I say do the tranny. If you get the head first, that will tempt you to rev the crap out of it and possibly have a rod bolt failure. I would get the tranny first and then build the B20/VTEC the right way. But thats just my $0.02.
