Default help me decide

alright everyone im having a hard time deciding what i should do, i have a b16 that i am building and im not sure if i want keep on building it or if i should do a b20,

here is what i have for the b16 pretty much a stock bottom end with a p&p b18c1 head w/ 3 angle valve job gsr cams skunk2 intake mani edelbrock 65mm tb, fpr hytech replica header.

i would be keeping the head and putting it on the b20, i like to road race and would like something with a little more torque than what a b16 will make, also i do not have alot of the harder to find small things that i need for the swap like a water pipe oil pan and oil squters, also i have to get the block machined because the pistons are .025 over please let me know what you think and how much you think i could get for the b16 bottom end

Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races, if you're really into road racing then i'd go with the B20.

i would say go with the b20/vtec for the torque like stated above, but if you do you will want to beef up the bottom end to safely rev it higher in order to reach the full potential of the b16 head
