Default vtec head?

someone told me that i could get a vtec head for my f22b2 im not sure what the advantges of this are .....is it just for the name VTEC on the head or will it actually have something to do with "vtec" and increase performance..i know theres alot more to the VTEC technology then just the head thats sorta of why im confused.

its not worth it, just spend that money and get a real vtec motor, h22 dohc vtec baby. btw if you do this conversion, it will gain you 15 hp at the crank but its still not worht it...think about the custom oil squirters and other parts you need for the vtec head...plus it might not even run right and you will probalbly have overheating problems.

use the money you would be using to convert it to a vtec to get a turbo kit instead. In then end it probably would cost the same and the turbo will be more reliable and alot more powerful
