Default Which setup to go with?

I'm new to the Honda forums and hopefully I'll be joining the family soon. I'm looking at either building a B16, B18, B20 N/A(vtec,race cams,high compression, ITB's,the works) or a B16, B18, B20 SC motor. I believe I'll be either running a late 90's civic HB or 94 up integra GSR or TypeR? I'm looking to build more of a roadcourse car but still something that has good punch on the street. I guess I'm shooting for about 250whp give or take 20 horses. I'm just looking for which would be the better track/street setup.
I already have a Lancer Evolution and have owned 2 previous turbo cars so I'm done with turbos. I'm pretty much willing to do what has to be done to build a "track car". So give me your opinions/advice and anyhtign else you have to offer.

I'd look into a K series setup if I were you.

I can't possibly hope to afford an Evo and a RSX or a K-Series motor alone. I'm making payments on the Evo and I'm only 18.

Well I would not mind spending $5000 on the motor. Like I said I would pretty muhc go ***** to the wall with the motor. Is it possible to get 250 out of a B18 LS Vtec Swap?

well posibly you could but id say go B20 v-tec and it would be beter but if your going (ball to the wall) and $5k isn't too much just do what the other guy said and do the k20 its like the same price anyway why not start with more than 200 hp
