Default What can I expect from a ported and polished D15B7 head?

I'm trying to decide whether to port and polish my valve head or swap it for a ported and polished VTEC D16Y8 or D16Z6 head. What can I expect from each of these?

A little background on what it is I want to do with this car...
-keep it a daily driver and reliable
-try and squeeze as much power out of my existing D15B7
-eventually hit 200 N/A horses at the wheels
-my first project is porting and polishing a head for my D15B7 block, VTEC or non

Thanks,

Reny

You can do it.....but it won't be streetable. ANd won't last long.

200 horses is hard for the 1.8's let alone almost impossible for the 1.5's
