stick with the PR3 head that you have. The B16 head is the best flowing of the bunch and that is why they use it on the type r's also. So you pretty much have a Type R head w/o type r cams. If you want a killer upgrade get a set of CTR cams

I think they are better than anything junk2 makes. Really it depends on your application, the junk2 cams are more than likely going to run more duration and a slightly higher lift.

B16a2 and B18c1 heads flow almost identical through the RPM range. The differences are negligable.
