Exactly the B20 sleeves are too thin to boot anything big. LS would be the better choice if you don't plan to re-sleeve them and keep it at a reasonable boost level. Also if this engine is for track purposes only then you don't have to worry about smog either because IF you drive it on the streets and the cops tell you to pop that hood open and see that combo in your engine bay. You're in trouble financially.

Why is everyone talking about turbo? Didn't he say "all-motor" in his original post?

Personally I'd go B20 VTEC. Not to undermine the LS VTEC, however- I know people who have very powerful, reliable LS VTEC setups as well.

i like the b20 block, reliable part people say that frankies are not reliable but any motor you race is going to be unreliable. I had my setup for over 3 years, raced it often and never had a problem. I had big pistons as well. keep it an all motor and youll love the torque and should be plenty to beat up on other dailys.

there both the same motors. Youll just have a little more tq with the B20 but no biggy.
