then you are severely limiting your potential with a built head. might as well just leave everything stock. how much do you think a built head is going to cost?

you can still get very good result with oem parts.

a built head with better flow will make a lot more power, even without a built block...my buddy has an ls-vtec, left the block alone, and left the head alone, just did cams, and makes over 200 whp

i find that very hard to believe

stock b18b compression is 9.5:1. good if you want to boost. not so much if you want to stay all motor.
