Just out of curiousity man, which shop are you having do the work for you? Race Design? Ground Zero?

As for the CR-Vtec/LS-Vtec, if you are going N/A then the CR-Vtec night be up your alley, since it will have slightly more torque. If you are thinking of ever turboing it however, I'd go with the LS-Vtec. The B20 is essentailly a bored out B18B1 block.

Just remember to not go and rev the crap out of your motor. Remember, the head many be B16A2 but the Block is still B18B1 or B20, and is not ment for super high revs. One of the reaons you hear horror stories aobut LS/Vtec's beingunrealiable is that people swap on a Vtec head and go and rev the heck out of it. I wouldn't rev the motor past 7K (stock redline on an LS is around 6800). As I said, the Vtec head may be ment to handle a 7800 rpm redline but the B18B1 or B20 block is not.
