Default Hard Choice: GSR or ITR swap?

I've been saving up all year and i finally came up with enough money to buy my car a gsr swap but lately I've been doing research on both swaps and i am going back and forth in choosing between the two swaps. I could get another 1000 by taking a loan from my rents, pay them back in the summer with my full time job, and then buy the ITR swap or just buy the gsr swap without dept. I want a swap that has a good power band for auto cross and a peak whp around 200-220 . I heard that installing a skunk 2 intake manifold, sk2 cams, and a DC 4-1 in a gsr swap would make it faster than an itr swap. Let me know what you guys think. This is really driving me nuts! Thank you

Just get the GSR and put that extra money you'd spend on the ITR swap into mods.

id get a gsr swap just because i dont like being in debt.
when you work over summer. you can use that money to do a build on the gsr motor and get lsd on whichever tranny you get.

I say if you wanna leave it stock then go with the hype-r. But if you have future plans of modding the engine(internally) I wouldn't even think of the ITR and go with the GS-R.
