Default blew up my B16 this past weekend, what to replace it with?

So anyways I blew up my motor so I need a replacement. I have decided on a b18b turboed. I was going to put the drag gen3 kit on at about 7psi for right now, But in the future I will probably build it. Has any one driven or own this setup how was it, does it make good power? I'm just tring to get some ideas what this is going to do for me. If anyone wants to know why my motor went I guessing from the 70 dry shot. I will now more what happened when I open the motor up this week (haven't had time to do it) to see the real damage.

You may be better off starting with a rev hard stage 2 kit. Drag manifolds are notorious for cracking.

Better yet why not build a custom kit? Most the time people end up selling off half of the "Pre built" kit they buy when they realize most of the parts (FMU, inline pump, Map bypass, WG, etc...) are straight garbage.

Go read up in the FI forum, they will help you out...
