If your going to boost it I recomend NOT buying a header before hand. If you are going to run a turbo in the long run start building for it now. No matter what head/block combo you use, make sure you keep the compression low. Plan ahead and you will save money and make more power.

I want to know if anyone has heard of a D15B7 Bottom / D16A6 Head mini-me swap and if it makes good power. I'm planning to install a bullfrog cam, cam gear and header as well.

Pile of letters ---&gt; English in a matter of seconds.
