B16 head with type R cams. B16 head flows better and the stock manifold design is alot less complicated.

Doesnt the GSR head have like .2 more compression than the B16 head does? I vauglly (spelling?) remember a thread about ppl swapping GSR heads onto B16 blocks for that reason.

yes. the gsr's smaller combustion chambers bumps compression slightly.
