ok, i just killed my b16 and how have a boosted B18a1 in the car, so from experience, the b16 pulls a little harder up top, but you have to really rev it to make power. the LS will offer you a faster spool (by about 400 rpm) with the same exact turbo setup. i personally love the low end of the 1.8 but i do miss the top end scream of my b16.

overall, my vote, the LS is the way to go.
