Default 94 civic hatch w/ 95 LS b18b1: How make more power?

Okay recently i acquired my 3rd Honda a 94 civic cx hatch w/ a healthy 95 LS b18b1 swap..
I have a d15b vtec ej1 coupe and a completly stock virgin 93 civic vx hatch that i both daily drive...
this new hatch i intend on making a street legal/weekend drag car..
i just dont know which is the best route to take... i want to make the most reliable usable power as possible... money is not really a big issue but the less spent the better. so give me some directional ideas,... swap motors?, turbo the ls? what would you do?
thanks Aaron

Less money=turbo/build your LS. More money and most power=K Series swap, Built and turbo'd. Or you could always go B18C1 or its more beefy Type R counterpart. It's really up to you though...

I'm not familiar with them but i am with http://www.inlinefour.com/valcom.html

Not sure on how many options they'll have for your B18B1 though. But check them out. I'd recommend the Supertech or the IL4 stuff.
