If your undecided about asperation then go with the b18b. If you go n/a you can add a b18c head and make good power and if you go with turbo you'll make even better power.
the b16a is good ONLY if your boosting (IMO)....LSD is worth every penny.
so ur sayin that ls/vtec WOULD have more HP and TORQUE out of the box... or could have more power??? and how much actual work is there to swapping a vtec head onto an ls block? how much roughly to aquire all parts necessary to do a complete ls/vtec swap???
