Going VTEC with my b20... which head produces more power?

b16, b18c or b18c R?

b16 is the cheapest, but will the other 2 create significantly more power?

TIA

Imo...without headwork... A gsr head with CTR cams, cuz the combustion chambers of tha gsr head bumps tha compression up so you basically get a poor mans R. With just a R head, you got the advantage of the factory port job and nice valvetrain...but no bump in compression. + u gotta pay the heavy price for the R head. So...once again Imo for the $ I say gsr head with CTR cams if u can get ur hands on some.

Re: (lowRIDAH)

this is my opinion so please do not flame. =P

b16 is for top end
b18 is for torque
R is the best if you have the $$$, but then if you p&p the other 2 it will be the same or better then the R
