B20b block with a B16a2 head compression question?

... then he thinks "hmmm, i want 7 - then 8". In fact, I wouldn't even build a serious N/A b20 (UNSLEEVED) - sideload is killer on those sleeves. The b20 is a truck motor and always will be w/out sleeves.

I've seen a B20 built with 11.5.1, tuned at balanced performance, made 196hp. He had it over 8 months or so, before selling it. I've seen B20/vtec tuned on 9psi, but dont knwo how long it lasted tho. I believe he will be fine at low boost. If it was me, I would do LS/Vtec over B20's any day.
