If you are planning on f/i then go with the b18c1 it comes with about 190 hp stock but is better for f/i, the b18c5 is about 195 base hp but not as good with f/i but what you need to worry about is the cost, these are running about 5000+ on average, because they are in such high demand.

if money isnt really an issue, go fo the b18c5. you can run 8lbs safely w/o needing to lower the compression. this is all if you have the money. plus tuning for vtec will cost some extra too....tuning the car for vtec takes a little more than a butt dyno. what kinda budget you got? what kinda plans or goals you have for your car?
