New car....which Engine?

I just bought a 2000 Civic Ex. The SOHC isn't doing it for me. Which engine should I think about swapping? Si Motor or GSR? I know of 2 places to get engines online besides the preformance shop in a town near here. If any one knows of where to get(websites) either one of those engines please list them. Thank you.

Get the GSR if you can afford it.

If it was me I would sell the EX, get an LX or something cheaper and swap the GSR into it.

(TwistedSI) Is your Si pretty fast?

I thought about trading the EX for an Si.

Make the SOHC do it for you. It's not that hard, do a little research. Check my sig for my budget SOHC build up, $1500 and my shortblock will take more hp from turbo or nitrous than a stock B swap.
