Default b20z or b16a turbo...

What do you think would be a better daily driver...I've got b16 in my gig now...but I've been thinking about changing to a b20z when I go turbo. What do you guys think? I guess the other thing I should ask is...what else do I need to put in a b20z (no VTEC head, just stock motor), and should I use the tranny that I've got, or go to a LS tranny. (The gearing is sooo low on this tranny that I'm afraid I will run out of RPM's on the highway)

stick w/ the b16 for weight reasons aswell. turbo that, cost you much less and you will get a good response from the high revvin vtec with a turbo.

but cost wise, he already has a b16, so might as well just spend the money on a better turbo setup rather then a b20, like build the b16!!!

I wouldn't buy the b20 until I sold the b16...I'm not made of money!!! But I would like to build the b16. After I boost it to death, I plan to build it. But I'll do what I can right now.
