What is you power goal if u boost? On B20 blocks the cylinder walls are thinner than LS wall your limited on power unless you sleeve it.

You looking to go cheap for fast or reliable and fast? I would say cheap and fast is b20-t. most hp for less $ but not as reliable as good old all motor.

Keep it under 275hp and a healthy b20 will last a while. The restriction after that becomes the head on the b20. You could go a little more, little less, its not an exact science, but I see most stock b18 and b20 motors tuned to a little over 270hp. And all motor sucks.

like i said, if you boost it, and take it to the track every wednesday...have fun changing axles, transmissions, motor mounts. go with an lsd...b16 or gsr, dss axles, and solid motor mounts. just more money. leave everything stock, slap a gsr head on there and spray it, once you get off the line, not launching..then you wont have to worry about replacing all that.
