The reason the GSR head bumps compression is because the combustion chambers are square and the b16 are round so gsr bumps the compression by about half, that with a good intake manifold your good.

On the other hand and I know people will argue this but a b16-b20 turbo can produce more power because the chamber is bigger you can pack more air into the cylinder but no 2 builds are alike thats just the truth.

Just decide what your looking to do in the long run and keep your eye on that goal.
