Well I beat some LS/Vtec turbo hatch that supposedly runs mid 11's and traps 120-122 mph by like 50 cars... He said he was having voltage problems and wouldn't race me again lol.

I know what ya mean though.

yeah, built as in fully built/sleeved. hell, if that's the case. a 'built' b will take 30+ psi and make 600whp.

I think d is great but I also dream of a b series swap. They just have more potential and that is the next step for me, swap in a b18 swap over the turbo and have some fun!!

I just want 12's on slicks. A stock d will get you there. A built d will ad reliability and the optiion to run higher boost and of course your tune is important. I'd rather spank a B with my D. :P

I went 12's on a stock B series on shitty *** street tires. B series in the end is cheaper and easier to go faster.
Ok, But I don't like the fact that it will cost somewhere between $1200-$2000 maybe more to swap in a b-series motor that came from who knows where. I'd rather have a freshly built d. I don't agree that a B is cheaper in the end. I think you can build a d for less. Yes, a B is easier to go faster and a boosted stock b can put down 300 whp. Oh hell I don't know. :P I think this question all depends on how much money you want to spend and how fast you want to go.

screw up a B tranny = $700

screw up a D tranny = $200

Which ever motor you choose, you WILL trash a few trannys!

I;m staying "D" as it is what I can afford, same way HMT got started.
