vtec heads flow better, rev higher, and use more agressive cams which will be better for anything. so i thik the answer is pretty obvious on this one

Why would you want a more agressive cam with a turbo motor? GSR cams are about as "wild" as most folks get.

The reason for my pol is this right here I currently have a B-18 that I want to work out.... No playing around, none of this little Bolt on and I think I have a race car mentality... (VTEC= Variable timing electronic control) At once time I was thinking about biulding an all motor ls block, but then came the whole turbo and turbo vtec idea..... Truth to be told I still think I would have an all motor, but just trying to get more of an inderstanding..... ya know.... From the looks and other things I have read the only things i can see about a turbo is you get 55 horses ruffly, a kool pppsssstttttt sound and you intimadate people left and right... This also kinda serves as a dual thing a friend io know is thinking along the same lines.... ut I am just starting to think about getting some good heads and werking it out from there....

yea 55whp on like 4psi. if the motor has at least aftermarket pistons it will hold at least 12psi tuned with no problem, and will easily make 300whp on that boost level

You ever look at the cams for the Mitsubishi 4g63, Toyota 2jzgte/3sgte, Subaru EJ20, Nissan SR20det/RB26dett?

They all boast high lift and duration as much as 272degrees...This sounds like some sick ass N/A cams for a Honda...
