Good to see you in here John, it's been a while.

And yeah, that's more of what I meant to say, that the later heads have the ability to flow more when modified, I think the link I posted goes into that a bit further. But I didn't know that stock for stock the b20E heads actually flow a little better.

Regarding headgaskets, that's interesting... Are you saying that the b20E headgasket, although still listed as being .030" will be thicker than the b20f's listed .050"(both advertised before compression values)? Or are you just saying that it isn't quite as thin as the original, BUT it IS still thinner than the b20F gasket currently for sale?

IPD lists .030 gaskets for sale, as well as .050 and .080.
