If you got real money, than K, otherwise build your B. Plan to easily spend upwards of 8-10 g's on a good k-swap that will put down some power.

boosted b series. That series motor was made for your car and that eqauls less fabrication, less possible headaches, and it equals a turbo kit with the left over money. Do you really plan on spending any more money on top of the k swap to make it faster? If so go with the k but I know I wouldnt have enough money left over to build or turbo the k.

why would k even be an option when you have a c5 sitting there???? take the 10k you have (im assuming since buying a k is an option) and put it into the c5!!!

Have you ever ridin in a car with a K, seen time slips or even seen dyno results? My boosted LS or my fully built ls/vtec with 12.3:1 couldnt even compare to a STOCK(internal's) K.

If you could fund the K, you wont regret it. check out www.k20a.org
