Default ZC built for boost or all motor non vtec B20

I wanted to know which motor some of you guys would rather have. I am either going to build a ZC with 9.0:1 JE's, Eagle rods and turbo it or a 12:1 non vtec B20. I live at 5800 ft so FI motors always do better up here. I know that the ZC would be faster but I think a 180+ WHP non vtec would be unique. Which motor would you rather have? Thanks

Considering I've done both... I'll tell you now, Boosted B20 will make you wet, just watch how much boost your running considering B20 sleeves are monolithc 1 piece design and can easily crack if to much detonation occurs.

No mater what you do to a ZC, its still a freaking D-series, no I'm not a hater considering I had a fully built ZC at one time, I just feel that is kind of a waste of money to invest into a weak platform. Any of the B-series motors B16/B18/B20 is definatly the way to go IMO.
