Like vtec5 said, and how much do you have to spend??? The more money the better if your on a tight budget there are alot of mods you can do to the stock motor that will give you some power. If you have a large budget it depends on what you wanna do with the car.

Turbo your stock motor. I hear its good for 250HP with stock internals. and still will be a good daily driver and reliable.

i would say turbo
why 4 reasons
!. it is cheaper then a swap
2. parts are easy to find
3. well if it blows get another cheap motor
and last but not least
4.when you win and they ask what you got, the look on their face when you say single cam turbo!!!!!!
