Default B16A or B18C ? ? ? ? ?

I had a Gen 2 B16A(170hp) under my hood and this is my 1st honda. I'm very keen to make this machine a speeding machine I was wondering whether a B16A or a B18C block have a higher potential ? ? ? ? ? Kind soul out there please give me some advise ^_^

go with the B18c1 bottom end you will gain nice TQ , or even with B20 or B18b if you want huge amount of TQ

If you already have the b16, then just build it up. I suggest turbo

ThanKz fOr for all the reply

Actually i was aiming for a 98 B18C Spec R block to build up . . but it cost a BOMB to import the block . . But i feel that B18 can definitely get higher speed as a stock B18 is already have larger displacement compare to a B16 . . . how how ? ? ? ? ? is there anyone out there have a incredible B16A machine ? ? ? ? what is the extend of a B16A actually ? ? ? ? ThanKz anyonE

Horsepower sells the car, torque wins the race.
