RE: D...Swap or Turbo

OK...I want to run at least 400hp not in one day of course but over a lil while...is it possible to get the K swapped in or just smarter to go with a B?

400 whp isn't particularly hard on a B-series. It's not cheap, but it's pretty straightforward. I'd go with it over a K-series any day. It'll wind up being cheaper.

B-series are like tampons, every ***** needs one. My vote is for..... Build and Boost the D!

Classic D-series fangirl talk...

B>D and you know it. Sure the D is cheaper since you don't have to swap, but boo hoo.

Now then, for boost, the LS is a better engine until you put a few grand into the B16A.

the b16 is highly overrated IMO. it has almost no torque over the d16 and the b18 is way more tunable.
