I have a feeling this might get locked.

Choice is up to you.

id say turbo. the money that you use to put a bseries swap into your car can go towards a turbo kit with a standalone engine management or a built motor. yes they say if you turbo a bseries it will be faster but i say how much more money have you spent than i have.

I say do the turbo. or better yet supercharge. super charge is like 2300. a b series swap will end up being way more and for around the same HP.

I live near you in Coon Rapids. I should take you for a ride in my car sometime.

That'll seal the deal.
