street - b18c1. more displacement = more air = more torque. the only advantage the b16a has is a shorter stroke meaning a better rod to stroke ratio, but i dont think that this is going to be to your advantage on a street car. b18c1 will make more power on less boost.

That about sums it up. Only other signifigant difference is cost. The B16 being the cheaper of the two.
