Default all motor or boost??

I have a '93 Hatch. It's pretty much still a virgin. I haven't quite decided what I would like to do the the car motor-wise. What do you guys think will give me the best performance?

My options are:
B16A2
JDM 1.5 L
Stock 1.5L Vtec-E, build & boost


Money is no issue. I don't want to spend a whole lot though, and I don't want to go Type-R or LS Vtec, or anything big. I'm just looking to get a little more power. I want to at least feel the Vtec.

Any opinions and/or advice is appreciated.

That statement has boost written all over it. Do a mild build on the single cam and boost it. Maybe some rods(I suggest LS rods) and pistons and a cam. And boost 10-12 pounds.

I would first decide what you want to do with the car non-motorwise... like drag racing, road racing, daily, etc...
