Yeah, show me a similar setup using a stock type r head with stock itr cams that makes 50-100whp more than this and a better powerband

no i would rather get the head that can flow the air that real cams would need. plus revving past 7k on an ls is always a crap shoot even on a built head, its not meant to be revved high just by the design.

i take my p75 head over 7k every day...
look im the first one to point out the disadvantages if non vtec motors but i just get sick of people spouting off bullshit that they are basically making up. if you want to rev a non vtec head to 10k you can it just needs some mechanical work to be done. not many people rev that high though on the street and in street form they work just fine to 8k. they have the same port shape as a b16 head and can be ported to flow ALOT better than stock. they can also accept oversized intake valves even up to 33mm. ---- my b20 non vtec head im putting on in a couple weeks has 33mm intake valves stock.
people dont mess with non-vtec cause its just easier to bolt on a BETTER vtec head on but it doesnt mean you cant use non vtec.

Stock for stock there is no comparison... Vtec head > LS head. To get an LS head working as well as a vtec head you will have to drop a bunch of money into it. It's just easiser to bolt the vtec head on. For most of us that is all you need. Look at the people here at HMT that have dynoed there LS motors, ---- I made more power than they did. Drop a vtec head on and you got a good 50whp more right out of the box.

Stock for stock, vtec is better. There's no question about that. If you're going all out and building it, I would say go LS, port it, big cams and be different.
