hey guys, i just swapped a b20 into my 96 cx civic , i wanna put a v-tec head on in , but in all honesty im clueless on which is better , or is it as simple as bolting a different head on? right now i currently have an ls tranny with my b20 , i heard with a v tec head you can make about 180whp and 150-160ftq , i tired searching but all the write downs are complecated to understand , i need just a few simple words on which one is a better head to buy, maybe a rough price range on the heads , and if i should get someone to swap the heads , or is it as easy as bolting the stock head off and bolting the v tec head on and hookinh up the v tec solonoids ? thanks for all the help in advance guys , much appreicated.

Its also more complicated than that. You can't just throw a vtec on it, most people do and it doesn't last very long.

As for which vtec head, it depends which you like better. I have a GSR head on my LS block and a B16 on my B20.
