My D16A6 head got worped b/c my radiator took a ****.... it over heated and now the water jacket is leaking into/out of the cylinders.

My question is... Do you guys think there is going to be a great difference in power under boost if I use my old D15b2 "DX" head ??

The DX head has the same EVERYTHING, minus the cam.. The A6 cam is said to rev a little higher vs the B2 making better torque....

I'm thinking that 13psi is enough to make any head/cam flow pretty good either way... And yes I'm "that broke" that I don't wanna pay $100 to get the A6 head decked, save the "just get it decked" comments.

13psi with A6 = 200hp ( hypitheticlly )
13psi with B2 = 195hp ????
5hp lost ??? more???

 

it only cost $25 to get the head milled.

the a6 makes more torque than the 1.5 due to displacement.

put the a6 cam in the b2 head and call it a day.
