I doubt there's enough power to fuck you up.

If you are driving the car all out, and are tuned correctly you should remain in VTEC at all times in a road course or auto-x. As far as whether to boost or stay NA i say boost, unless all you want to do is Auto-x. But i would go B20b instead of B18. More displacement and cheaper to buy.

b20 is nice, yet not that great for boost....the stock sleeves are very weak, LS is the better way to go

wowzers, ya'll are talkin about AutoX when i'm settin it up for drag.... come on now. i just don't feel as if LS-Vtec is gonna last as long as i need it, and if i turbo it, it'll be easier to fix.

the b20 has thinner sleeves but overall I recommend it more than a b18 as the torque will be greater and overall they have about the same capabilities stock. Both blocks will take around 300whp stock internals and 10psi. Depends on the turbo of course....but if I were you I'd sleeve it so you build it right the first time.

i would say a b20 block also, but an ls block is also plenty strong, but I think u could prob make more power with the b20
