there is no contest 1.8 ls will do better the 2.0 prelude motor is a poor design with nearly no aftermarket

yeah, the prelude 2.0 is generally considered junk (i think it's a b20a)... it's basically just an ls block with an extremely long stroke (i think).
If you're building a drag only car, you may want to consider the h-series prelude motors... if you want to maintain the handling and not have excessive understeer, stick to any of the other b-series motors (just not the b20a!).
