Default Is it worth it

Well right now i am debating what i should do with my 94 ls. To be honest i want a decently fast car but i dont want to spend that much money. I would like to spend no more than 10g's on this project. My options are as followed:

k20a R
K20a2 boosted
Boost the LS
GSR Turbo.

my first thoughs was to do the k20a R and keep it stock. then i was like why spend 8g's on a swap when i can boost the ls.

Does anyone know if the value of the car would go up if i dropped in the R. and if so how much.

As u can see im pretty much confused. I plan on keeping my teg for the next 2 - 3 years. i dont wanna drop that much money into it that i wont get back.

what do u guys think i should do?

If you do an engine swap in your car (or any mods really) you're limited your range of who you can sell it to who would know what you're talking about when you mention the engine. Most people wouldn't have a clue and then would laugh at what they'd think was an inflated price.

I have a purple n orange interior. It's all custom, vinyll n paint and done profressionally but I highly doubt that since it's replaced cloth and the colour scheme is weird it's upped the value in any way.

Boost it. Love it. Drive it forever.

Boost the LS.

Every other option is just more $$$ for diminshing returns.

the only reason I would ever do a K swap was if I wanted a fast track car (road racing) cuz you get a good power band and awsome transmission, just turbo the ls and go fast.

Either;

a - Buy a new car.
b - Save for a house
c - Save for bills you're going to have to pay down the road.

If anything that took the value down a good bit.
