well i have a b16 right now that is slowly dying haha. So i figured since its my daily driver i would spend my time building a b18 and getting everything together to make the swap go a lot faster. i want to run higher compression but i want to keep it on pump gas and keep it reliable. for now i dont have money for a rebuild and boost, but if i decide later i always have my b16. what compression sounds good?

Those are low compression for boost no good for na. If you want to make some power and still be reliable ctr is your best bet.
