DOHC VTEC with the turbo, and maybe a 20 shot or something to spool the turbo, just because you already have the stuff.

Really, it all depends on what you want to do with the car. Drag, Street, Track, ect. A good tuner can get the turbo to spool right off the line. But that is a little to aggresive for the street usually. And a track, well on the track you wouldn't need the nitrous if you were driving well. Besides the turbo or nitrous will put you in a class that is "very" hard to compete in with a honda. IMO just boost the B and have fun. Sell the nitrous.

im thinking about it because jdm motors are illegal in cali and most b-series down here at stolen so i really dont want to go that route. i got hook ups on legit motors but i just want to prove that sohcs can be fast. therefore i want to make near 400whp and run 10's i like my power band.. I just NEED A GOOD MACHINE SHOP IN SO-CAL that can do a setup right for me for cheap any recomendations?
