Default Built NA B18b LS block VS Built NA 89mm stroke B18c GSR

Im looking for opinions on What motor you think would be make more power and have faster E.T.

B18b with a race preped LS crank(knifed edged.Micro polished balaced and bluprinted)Shot pined balanced and blueprinted ls rods notched for gsr bearings with arp rod bolts, and arias 12:1 82mm pistons

OR

b18c GSR block with Race preped LS 89mm crank(Knifedged, Micropolished, Balanced, blueprinted) shot pined balanced and blueprinted LS rods notched for gsr bearings with arp rod bolts. and Arias 12:1 82mm pistons

Both blocks would have a Portflow b16 head with supertech valve train(valve springs retainers and flatefaced valves) Skunk2 prostg1 cams. skunk2 int mani. w/SK2 68mmTB and RC 270cc or 370cc injecters. Wilbro 255 intank fuel pump. and JG Edelbrock 4-2-1 with race 2.5 turndown b pipe

I know the GSR will be more reliable but what do you think would make more power and have a quicker E.T. The stock strock built bottom end of the B18b LS or the Built stroked B18c GSR Or some people would say poor mans Type R Please let me know Your opinions ASAP If you read please give me your opinions- Thanx

the setup using a GSR block will prob net you a little less power. the GSR has a hair taller deck height so unless you compensate for it your compression will be less.

since it seems like you are trying not to spend a ton of money. just use b16 pistons on the LS rods in the LS block, mill the head you described .020" and put it together.

BTW you have a lot of searching to do

As stated bynthe guy above you will have a little less compression but the diffrence would be so small yo would never notice. I would recommend getting whatever is cheaper out of the 2 blocks for you and go from there as for the rest of the setup I posted in your crank topic so check it out.
