Unless going with a boost application, most people "will" tell you to buy a vtec head....why? Because it has a much much higher flow rate, and usually adds a good 40-50hp even in stock form. Swapping the cylinder head on your B18b isn't too big a deal, and there are many write up's on how to do it.

Yes, adding high compression pistons will make more decent power regardless of which head you use

LS motor's are not worth building if it's going to be NA.

LS builds all motor dnt make good power. everything stated so far are true. LS boosted with small turbo make decent power. bigger turbo more turbo laggs to kick in. stcok LS tacks out at 7k rpm. big turbos kick in at 5500 give or take. a .63 A/R trim turbo with ramhorn manifold good size fmic good flowing intercooler piping 3" downpipe 440cc+ injectors a good itm looking at some decent power. beat all motor set ups.
