gsr head gives you higher compression, b16a head and b18c5 heads are the same with the exception of the mild port and polishing by honda. i heard the shape of the combustion chamber on the b18c head is more squared, thus creating higher compression. one other thing, people say the other heads(b16a and b18c5) flow better. whatever floats your boat?

the b16 has a better flow than the b18c1 head.

Or you could have your cake and eat it too... B16A head with 2-layer head gasket to give you 10.7CR vs. 10.6CR with GSR head.
