B20 VTEC power expectations?

What kind of HP do B20 VTECs put out on average?

And Does it vary depending on what head you use?

it varies a lot with different heads, i'd say the best power for the price would be a B16A head. i think on average they make around 160-170hp, tourque is around 130ft/lb. but B20's have increadibly weak sleeves, so you cant get too aggressive with them, i'd suggest resleeving it, and while youre at it you might as well replace the piston's and rods.

It just depends on your budget. Could be anywhere from 170-240.

Or worse. I've seen a B20 VTEC (auto B16 head LoL) dyno at 163whp.
