what do you want to do with it?

I personally feel like the B16 head is better for boost, and the Gsr head is better for all motor.

Flow wise, stock B16A and GSR head are nearly identical..... as mentioned above, it just depends on what you want to do with it.

Default Re: b20 upgrades, anybody?

now i have a better understanding of how to get what i want from the b20. now i have a new question i want to build the motor for autocross and i've been told i need a wide hp curve which i still want to be around 300 to 350 max so should i go with a t3 ball bearing which i know is going to be real expensive or just supercharge it which i know from previous experience on domestics will get it the way i want but again still pretty new to 4 cyl. short block. please remember b4 u answer that i need a broad power curve for auto-x appilcation
