Default which head and Im to swap?

Ok so Im about to tackle the turbo build. I have 95% of my parts, and Ive decided to add a vtec head. I was going to just buy a complete z6 swap, and throw my zc in my other hatch or crx but ---- it.

So with a sohc zc what would be the best head and intake manifold to use along with eagle rods, vitaras, and arp headstuds. Im looking to boost at least 18lbs, with chrome.

Also whicharp kit would I have to get for the combo? Ive seen diferent kits suggested for the sohc zc block.

Ive heard that too, but I always thought vtec would gain more hp also. My zc currently isnt the vtec model.
