Which one is best motor? B18c or B20Vtec?

I’m not a serious drag racer, I just want my daily driven car goes to an upgrade; currently I have a B16A first gen. What can you strongly recommend between B18c or B20vtec/LS/vtec? Which one can provide me a beast engine in line of daily driven car and can save me money?

Take note I’m not a serious drag racer..

thanks

since you already have the b16, you can use that for the b20/vtec

If you're looking for a good DD engine, B18Cx is your best bet. Frank motors are generally less reliable (not saying they can't go the distance, but only when done with the utmost care)
