Default Help me choose/opinions

I have a d15b7. I really cant decide on what to do with it.

Should I do a mini me swap and put on the ex tranny, and a knew cam.

Or

Should I do a b18b swap and get a b16 tranny.

If I get the b18b I wont have money for other mods for awhile, but with the mini me swap I would have money left over for other mods. If you were faced with my dillema what would you guys do?
Which setup would make more power----and whats better for the 1/4 mile?

Really, have you gotten it dynoed or have you taken it to the track yet? Have you raced any ls swapped hatchies? Just curious cuz that is something I was seriously considering.

What if I go turbo later would the ls b16 tranny still be best. I know ls motors are good for turbo but I have heard of people making good number with the sohc motors to. Is the b16 tranny and ls motor a good setup or would it be better to use the gsr tranny?
