hey rudelude...
i think what would be best for you, would be swap a d17z5 head onto your stock block, cuz with that head, it'll help open up the secondarys on the rotary chute, and you'll be at full nawz before you know it

The reason people put vtec heads on ls blocks is for the ls bottom end torque with longer strokes, and you get the vtec upper end horse power.

i have a gsr and i thought about going with a b16 head just because flow is better and the chose for intake manifolds in a little better. would i notice a gain on my gsr if i got a b16 head, used my gsr cams and got a ITR intake manifold?
