you have the money, but how much money do you have? What is your goal?

Reliable, fun DD? Get a gsr.
Cheap, fast, and unreliable? untuned turbo z6.
Expensive, fast, and reliable? built and tuned z6.
Expensive, faster, and unreliable? untuned turbo gsr
Expensive, fast, and reliable? built NA gsr
Bling? gsr

It depends on what you want to do with it. Can't beat an NA B series for fun and reliability, but they're not as fast as everyone makes them out to be in stock form.

Go with the B18 if you have the money. Later on if you want more performance, then you can build and boost that instead of the D16.

I would go with like a B16,B18,b20

No point to build the smaller motor & make it less reliable when you can put a little bigger engine with minor mods but still have it super reliable & prob. just as much power.

Reliability is more of an issue to me than power. Especially with a N/A motor that you can run consecutive passes down the 1/4 mile & have consistent times. Where if you have a F/I setup your less likely to have consistent pass times. Thats my opinion.
