If you put some real money behind it, you'll get some amazing power. But if power is your goal then why VTEC? Why not forced induction or a high revving, high compression build?

GSR head requires GSR intake manifold. So you will need to use a GSR ECU in order to control the secondaries, or else get an aftermarket manifold that eliminates them. GSR is a small port head for better low end with a combustion chamber more resistant to detonation. GSR head will give you higher compression.

B16... well, Honda decided to replace the GSR head with a B16 head when they made the B18C5. The B16 head is for all out top end power.
