Default dont know what to do???!!

okay. I have a stock JDM b16a with only an aem cold-air.
I want more power and i was wondering what combination would work best.
Should i keep my b16 block and go with a gsr head or should i keep my head and go with a gsr or b18b1 block??

Why would you get a GSR head? If you check out Wikipedia you can see the specs of just about any B-series motor to get a better idea of which motors make good power (relatively) at what rpm.

LS/VTECs are nice.

If I were you I'd boost ur B16, you'd get the best bang for ur buck w/ that.

putting a gsr head on the b16 block doesn't sound very good to me... the other way around would be a poor mans type r... from what i have read and been told it revs slightly higher and it is slightly faster than a stock gsr...

and this way you would also have a 1.8l instead of the 1.6 (and if i'm no mistaken the vtec is stronger on the b16's head)
