Default b16a2 head on my b18c1?

i can get a great deal on a b16a2 head (300$) it comes with everything head, cams, intake manafold, throdle body, will that bolt up right with my gsr head? what would i need extra? also will it give me any gains at all?? ive heard the b16 head flows better. i would also be installing itr cams at the same time.

good deal on head but I think just keep that c1 head and just upgrade it. Save the hassle of swapping a 16 head. But if you can DIY then go ahead. I think a garage at home with proper tools will work. No need for shop unless you dont know what you're doing.....my .02

the problem is to get headwork done on the c1 head it will still involve taking a head out of your car, and putting one back in, plus more money than 300 dollars and more time than a DIY install of the si head. all of this for a similar result IMO.
