that's why I said dump the block AND head - no VTEC
of course there are the fine details to make it work...

shorter gearing isn't always better.... on an engine that needs to be above 5000 to make power shorter gears are better.... but an engine that is pulling hard at like 3000 i dont think its nessessary.... i think the gsr tranny is probably the best choice for a b20....
although the ideal would be a gsr tranny with 1-4 of gsr gears then 5 an LS gear for low revving on the highway

thats the way to go... they do make stroker kits to make the b18c 2.0L.... then you would suffer from thin cylinder walls.... wonder what kinda power that would make
