Default b18a1 boosted or gsr?

I guess I'm just trying to get a poll on what people would rather do. I have a b18a1 in the car right now (fully re-built) and I was debating if I wanted to boost if or change it out for a b18c1. I figure they are gonna cost about the same. What would you guys do?

I prefer an Ls simply because everybody runs gsr's. With the help of cams and wiseco pistons my Ls made 300whp @9.5psi T1 Tuned

I was wanting to run 1 or the other. I'm trying to stay within a $2000 budget. I know its purty hard on the wallet to make a n/a ls pull over 150-170whp. I thought about ls/vtec but it seems for it to be done right/reliable, I could just buy a gsr. So I was thinking, turbo it and push 200-225whp on a "ok" setup with a good tune or buy a gsr. I'm leaning towards the LS boosted setup since I just re-built (I say "re" cause I put all oem parts back in it) and I can push better numbers (that is boosted ls vs. Stock b18c1).

On that note, how is the cxracing.com turbo setups? I know 2 240sx guys running them with no complaints. Have you guys got any inputs?
