Default What's better for Turbo: VTEC or NON-VTEC Head?

I've got a B20B to turbo and have access to both JDM B20B head and a JDM B16A head. Which is better for turbo and why??

Stock for stock, VTEC heads flow better.

But that doesn't mean you can't port the heck out of the LS head either.

It all depends on your wallet.

The only flaws with the vtec head are:

*That JDM head is prolly old and has seen high revs.... valve springs are weaker
*Adding a vtec head will require the mods for an LSVT/ CRVT mo $ mo $ mo $
*There is a small power dip at vtec crossover

bottom line, you will make more power with the vtec head
