Re: quick question...b16 or b18 (black-lude)
The B16 could probably reach 300whp on stock internals.
I'd opt for the LS to turbo because of your goals and:
A) It's cheaper than the B16 (you could probably find an LS for like 300)
B) if you throw a rod - it's not all bad due to the cheapness
Though I'm not sure what the internals on the LS block are good for - somebody else can tell you there.
In the meantime, SEARCH, this has been covered 25 billion times!!
