Question head swap- worth it?

i am swaping out a d15 to the d16a6 si motor in my 1989crx. i have an a6 block that has been bored .030 over and has a rebuilt head. would it be worth selling the head and buying a y7 or y8 head and would it be worth boosting it ?

if you plan on boosting, you might be better off saving some money for tuning and using your A6 head.

The Y8 head is always a good choice and your distributer will bolt right on and line up perfect unlike the Z6 head.
