Default d15b block - which head? y8/z6/ or d15b?

I have a d15b block but the head on it is d15b7.. for some reason. So I want to do a mini me, but I'm not TOO sure of which way to go.
Should I go for the all out d15b assembly, or should I get a y8 or z6 head? Which would make the most power? is there REALLY any difference?

I have a p28 ecu, but i'm thinking of getting a chipped ecu instead.
Also, I'd like to get Skunk2 cams and lightweight pulleys.

I have searched, but haven't found the right answers
Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks

d15b head = Z6 head. There are minor differences between the y8 and Z6 head. I believe the Z6 head is the preferred head, but get whichever one you can find easiest.

So the only real difference between the z6 and d15b is that the latter is Japanese? And they're pretty much the same as a y8... so really it doesn't matter at all which I get, aye?

Awesome! Thanks a lot

Which ever is more easliy accessable really...either the Y8 or Z6 or JDM D15b (which I've "heard" has a better cam profile than the Z6).

Will that be considered a mini-me or just taking my motor back to stock? or something close to it, because originally the d15b does have vtec, etc.
