Default B16A or B16A2??

I'm doing an LS/Vtec, and i am debating on which Vtec head to use. OF course the first Gen is more cost efficient, but what i wanted to know is the differnce from the two when it comes to the head?

casts are almost identical between the heads. flow rates as well. only difference is the weaker cams, springs and little oiling difference

if the price difference is small go with 2nd gen, if you plan on getting new valve train (cams, springs and doing build up ) 1st gen is more then plenty

First Gen also has a smaller throttle body.

Get the second Gen., besides the better cam profile the billet cam rails look better then the cast ones. Hehehe just my opinion.
