damn man. You could be a little more specific. That's why people harp on noobs so much. Specifics is they key.

What are you looking to achieve? Short term and long term?
What purpose is it gonna be built for? Street/Strip/HPDE's/etc? Is it gonna be a daily driver? Do you want to go turbo or NA? And the biggest deciding factor, how much money do you have to spend?

You should ask yourself those questions and figure it out. I wouldn't bother necessarily posting your answers here but read up a lot on what you're looking to do so you can gain the knowledge necessary to make your own decision. Don't ask someone else to make it for you. Hint: use the search function. It works quite well. Just my $.02!

get a full GSR swap. if you've never ridden in one before, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results. and you'll only have to drop around 3k if you do the install yourself.
