whatever is cheaper. they are virtually the same as far as power. i just prefer the B16/PR3 head because i hate GSR manifolds. they are hard to work with in the engine by and the throttle cable brackets and stuff are wack. unless u jus buy an aftermarket manifold for the GSR head. up to u bro. *apparently gsr head yields a very small bit more compression.

if your going to build the head, go gsr for the smaller combustion chamber giving you a lil bump in compression but if your going w/ a stock head go for the si for the valvetrain and stock ports.

GSR has better Combustion Chambers, which are more flatter, while the B16 Flows better. If your going Turbo, your going to want to air to flow well. I say B16 Head.

But I am a B16 homer.
