Instead of the whole VTEC killer package, why not just have an LS engine with some aggressive cams? From my point of view it's the same thing.
Yeah I know, toxy, that we aggree on the Type R head being best for NA applications and it's close to blasphemy to force feed it, I was just kinda saying that for the benefit of other readers.
I think that a GSR head or a Type R head are both good for what you want to do, I just think that you could get some better performance/numbers with a head specifically set up for turbo.
You could easily spend the extra money on the Type R head to put turbo specific parts in it, but the you'd be spending more money to achieve the same results with a GSR head.
It's all preference, but if you want the prestige of having a Type R head, just get a GSR head and slap a red valve cover on it that looks like a Type R valve cover and nobody will be the wiser!
