b16 or gsr block?
Re: b16 or gsr block?
also i am looking to get tuned on crome, will that be ok or should i get tuned differently? I am going to be ordering a chipped p28 from j-k-tuning. And thinking about either xenocron tuning or jeff evans, xenocron is closer though.

xenocron's told me in the past that Jeff Evans and I could pass for brothers. 
I know Chris Harris/xenocron personally, and he's an awesome tuner. All I know about Jeff Evans is from his formidable reputation and tech posts... and Chris Harris' positive words about him. I daresay you could go to either of them and be very happy.

Exactly. and its cheaper in the long run to use the GSR block.
You can pickup a OBD1 GSR shortblock, sell the crank, pistons, rods, and oil cooler for 350, and assuming you got the shortblock for around 400 dollars, that means 50 into the block.
Buy a LS shortblock for 100 bucks, pull the crank, and sell the rods for 50, and block for 50.
50 dollar for your bottom end (of course you need rods/ pistons/ oil pump/ gaskets/ bearings ect) and now you dont have to worry about oil feed lines or any of that junk. When your ready, just bolt the B16 head on and have fun.
