well i am planning on a turbo set up but not for a year or soo but ls vtec would be fine for nowi guess.Only the bare head would go for 250-300$ so idk where u got that price from.

I cant find a stock complete b16a2 head for under like 400$ on honda tech, and those are with higher millage and some of them dont even have cams or camshafts, this head has roughly about 40-45k on it and comes with everything , crower camshafts that are almost new used for may b 1500 miles, intake manifold with ram intake on it, exhaust manifold, vtec distrubitor ,vtec solenoid. So if i do let this go, it aint gonna be for anywere near 250-300 unless its the bare head with nothing else, which i wouldnt part out anyways. I dont need to sell it , but if i get the right offer i wont turn it down so far 700$ seems pretty good to me so if i do sell it aint gonna be anything less than that.

But thanks rage87 for the info on the gsr and lsvtec shit , ive heard from alot of ppl now that gsrs are better to boost. I might just keep it and go with my poor mans frankenstien motor.
