so i have a lsv with a gsr head and cams at the moment. i been told that getting a b16 head and building that would put out better performance then a gsr head. i am wondering which head should i build? keep the gsr and build it or buy a b16 head build that then sell the gsr head?

just keep the gsr head, it will rise the compression and you can get it ported to flow better.

get a Porn n Polish job on the GSR head and ull be even happier
take note that changing to a B16 head will require a new intake manifold as well.

Explain what fully built means... A lot of people say they have a fully built head, but it really isn't.
