worth the time? sure. just do your research before you get in over your head.

fyi, b20 and ls heads are basically the same unless you have a p8r head.

hey try this b20 block with a b126 head and this kit that golden eagle makes and we might call it a b20/vtec. that would be tight.

just be carefull when boosting, b20 is known pretty well for having thin cylinder walls and most people bore out a b18b and sleeve it, better results, and more reliable too, ls and b20 heads are pretty much the same just as "doood" said, so basically, just read, read, read, and then read more ****, basically you want to study the **** out of it just like you were going to major as it in college or at least 2year tech school

N/A is best, but boost is better

Ive said this many times, but a well built and tuned LS-turbo can be a force of nature if you know what you are doing.
