Default b18b vs b20b vs b20z question...

i've been chatting with a fellow ht member, and his setup is as follows:

b18b stock bottom
p&p head,
gsr tranny,
jun flywheel..
crower 404's
Skunk2 manifold
JG tb
aem fpr,
prelude injectors
& basic bolt on's...(i/h/e)

hes making 175 to the wheels.

so, my questions are these...

1- if i had a b20b with similar mods, would it be putting down similar horsepower? i know its less hp than the ls stock, but the exter .2 liters have to be worth something
2- if i had a b20z, would it be similar or more than the ls?

no one specifies b20b or b20z until the last post where someone just lists the sepcs for each motor

You'd definitely be better off with the B20z

The B20b might have questionable compression for the 404's
