Default What setup is better for turbo?

b17(92-93 GSR) bottom with b16 head...Or b18b bottom with b16 head..Everyone tells me to do the b17 cuz it has shorter rods which are better for turbo?...what should i do...I want to boost atleast 12psi on Hondata...Im gonna use ARP studs and a BlockGuard..

imo it's a toss up.....with the b18 block you'll have more tq but the b17 block should yeild a higher compression so i'm tempted to say go with the b17 block.
Then again i could be totally wrong....
either way you'll be happy, both set-ups ahould handle fine if tuned with the hondata. I think the b17/b16 head will yeild a little more power...
