How much are you looking to spend? Youve got tons of options.

man, if you've got a b16 head then do a homemade type R build up.

get a GSR block and slap the b16 head on it, then get some aftermarket type R cams, new valve springs and retainers, hotter cams, port and a polish and you'll be screaming down the highway in no time.

you just need some money and a little bit of elbow grease.
