I have always thought that the b16 can handle more boost because of the thickers walls on the block.

b18, nothing beats displacment. even if its only ~.2. also b16 = tq.less wonder, even for a honda.

yep, and Dave Hickman also agrees...I was gonna send him my b18a block to get built for boost, but the dude would not stop telling me I would be better off with a b16 for boost, check him out, and give him a call, dudes smart as shit, www.dh-racing.com
