I'd also add to the other suggestions that you check the deck height of the cylinder head. The measurement will determine compression ratio. The original compression in the B20F was only something like 8.7 to 1. You might want to shave it a bit to get it up to a more performance oriented level. Even if you need to go to premium gas the increase in mpg's will often offset the cost difference. I've been running a B20B with a carburetted version of the 44mm intake head (Canadian model?) for years--compression in the 10+ to 1 range, SU's, K cam. You will not be disappointed. -- Dave
