i'd do a b series if your boosting... alittle bit more "reliable" and less fennicky about boost then the h series. a b16 w/ boost.

i would go w/ the LS. it would be cheaper and easier to tune.

I agree, plus LS tranny has longer gearing ideal for boost.

w/ boosting you are definitly better off w/ the B series engines. You will find the parts much easier to come by and less expensive to boot...

What about a B16B? A happy medium? I am thinking that or an LS. That is the verdict at the moment.
