stock to stock the b18c1 is the better motor, but it's not really worth the money to switch from the b17 to a b18c1. You have a good motor already, put that rare b17 to good use.

no replacement for displacement.

you can still build a really good motor out of the b17a tho.

Stock I'd go with the B17. Better gearing than the B18C.

I thought we we're talking B18C1 vs B17? Not hybrid B18C1 vs B17?

Having both, the b18c1 pulls a lot harder the the b17a. The b18c1 has a little more displacement and compression that helps.
