Default B18B1,All Motor or Turbo?

How much power can I get out of a b18b1 with some cams,10.5:1 comprssion,valve springs and fuel tuning? Right now i am stuck on building a tubo b18b,all motor b18b,or just getting a b16.What would be the most economical choice?

If you are definately going with the B18B, go turbo. Beyond that, do a search.

Do both, with my civic, i went all motor (h22) - squeezed as much hp/tq as i could, then i put a PHAT Drag Gen 3 Turbo. Im running consistant low 11's and couldnt be happier, so if you want to have a car thats ACTUALLY fast go all motor, then boost it, but remeber, patience is everything....

an purposly built allmotor car would run like 12:1 CR, you would not want to boost on that! Oh ya, please do not insult the LS community nor embarrass yourself by going from a b18b to a B16, you can put the B16 head on there but don't give up displacement!
