Which to choose from? Build LS block or buy b20z?
I can't decide what I want to do at this point.
Here are my options:
Keep my current LS block
Buy ITR pistons
ITR/CTR cams
Do full rebuild
Tune w/Hondata
Or
Buy stock b20z
Install ARP rod bolts
Install block girdle
ITR/CTR cams
Tune w/Hondata
Either way, it will be with my p&p Vtec head. If I keep my LS block, and just do a rebuild w/ITR pistons, my compression will be just over 12:1. If I get the b20z, the compression will be about 10.6:1 with my head (milled .020).
Either way, it will cost about the same. Which one would make more power?

Well, i think the 2.0L block will give you more low end tork even with the higher cr ls setup. To me low end is everything, so i'd say the crv setup. The low piston to valve clearance thing scares me tho.
My crv engine is so close now i can almost smell it.

re-sleeve Ls block to 84.5mm for 2.0
I would go 86mm though if I decided to have the block sleeved!

LS block: $350
Sleevs: $750
Bore & Hone: $125
Shipping: $100
Pistons: $550
Rods: $300
Balncing: $125
Bearings: $200
Gskets: $175
And a bunch of other stuff.
It would cost ALOT to turn my LS into a 2.0!
