From personal experience, the best possible upgrade you can do is a 96-00 CTR transmission. Bell housing should mount up directly to the B18 block. It will dramatically change your track times, far more so than any head work.
I definitely would love a b16a or any of the short gear b seriers trans, which I think by itself would be a night and day difference. But, I wouldn't want just a b16a head. I prefer a complete b16a. The lsvtec build would be a lot of work and money to get it running as reliable as a original b16a. Unfortunately, all b series vtec parts are just brutally priced and hard to find in good shape.
That is true, I'm about to finish a b20v (gsr head) in my ef. Finding a short gear Trans for anything less than my children's college fund is near impossible
Great job welcome back

Looks like you need a b16 head, b16a trans short gears
