You won't do either. If you have to ask you won't do it.

Better yet. Research what it takes, money and work, to do either one. That should help your decision.

...another thread like this? Hmm...they should make a sticky called SOHC turbo VS everything else. People can constantly argue this so new threads don't pop up every week.

I'm an SOHC fan. Turbo. My .02

Wow...if I was tired of my SOHC I and wanted a "fast" motor I would not even think about a stock LS.
