Default b20? what do u guys think?

I just put a b20 in my car... I am not going to go the vtec route because then i would want to go all motor with my ride... and even b20vtec says the block sucks for higher compression... http://www.b20vtec.com/b20sleeves.html ... so now I am going to go turbo with it... anyone here done this already? I know someone has... I want to keep stock internals because of my budget.. so I just wanna know what setups people have out there... let me know... also I have heard that ls cams help alot with the hp ... is this tru or should i just save my money for an aftermarket cam? thanks // Rj

for turbo that block is also not as strong, if your doing moderate boost, but if u turn it up make sure your tuning is dead on. Those sleeves are very thin at the joining points just make sure u are aware of that.

why would you not want vtec cause your going turbo It would be faster regardless with vtec.
