wait.. you have a d15 vtec? Isn't the d15 vtec only JDM? (i'm 90% sure it is)

anyways, if you do have that engine, why bother? Spend the money on raising your compression or a more aggressive cam or a better tune, etc. Or spend it else where on your vehicle.

pass it up, there will be very minimal gains if any. changing a head on a motor isnt that easy of a task either.
