Ok, so far ive been thinking about these two setups, I already have both bottom ends, i just dont know which one to build. As far a compression goes, both motors will yeild a 11.5:1 just because its gonna be daily driven. Both motors will be running eagle rods and SRP pistons. I know i can run higher compression but i dont know of any good tunners down here to do the tunning. I also want to know which would be most relaible. The B16A head already has type r valvetrain, ctr cams, pp and 3 angle valve job. I am willing to sacrifice Hp and torgue for realiability but do u guys think its worth it? Also what kinda HP numbers do u think these two setups would pull. If anyone has build anything like this let me know how it ran. I am actually leaning torward the b16a setup because of the R/S ratio...but as much as i have read on this forum, theirs not a lot of LS/Vtec haters. Any info would help....thanks
