Default Is this D16Z6 race head woth it?

wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to buy the Vtec version of this motor

than just have the same job done to your VTEC head ?

no. it would be cheaper if you already have a vtec motor and have the same job done to the head.

no, it wouldn't be much cheaper, but the problem here is that this is not a complete head. by the time you go through the cost and trouble of adding the missing pieces, then you would be better off to just buy a complete head and send it off for porting.
