Default Help! cant make up my F'n mind! LS-v or high comp B16?

Ok, I cant make up my freakin mind on what I want to do. My car currently has a low comp B16 that was just rebuilt. Im not sure if I want to pop the head and oil pan off and throw in some B16b pistons and supertech valve springs... with the possibility of cams later.... and I wont have to pull the motor out.

or

I have the LS motor that came out of my 90 teg, I could have it cleaned up and assembled with PR3's for $300 including bearings, arp rod bolts, and labor( my buddy owns the machine shop)

Im not sure what to do? I have an OBD1 conversion w/ a chipped P28 ECU. Im not trying to spend a fortune and I want something thats reliable... I figured around $700ish to build the LSvtec and around $550ish to swap pistons and valve springs in my B16a...


anyone?

You really already know what you want to do. It doesn't matter what anyone in here says. You shouldn't need to be talked into doing anything with your life.
