Dream Build... What engine to go with?

"Lucid Dreamin"
Hey CI, I have a 98ls and I am going to build a dream, I am having one hell of a hard time figuring out what engine to go with, you got the b18b1 that gives great benefits when boosted right, you got the ls/vtec swap that is complicated but also Tunable for excellent power,

the GSR that is good all around for boost and internals, and the elusive b18c5 JDM ITR, an excellent engine for a price. my goal is to build a car that I know I will love but with the capabilities of stomping on all those guys that aren't creative enough to actually put effort into a car and just buy an STI or an EVO, what is in your guys' best opinion the best of the B series for what I am going for,

I have no price limit since I make good money and have no bills, I will save for the parts so please, best engine and mods to go with, I want a daily driver that can dominate on the track and off. please help.

If you can afford it go with a built ITR.

All internals. If your really feeling up to it do a k20 swap.

I have been thinking about it, I want one of the best teggys out there, haven't done much research into K series engines, any major diffrences I selected b because of vtec crossover and scream, I had a 99si and it was the funnest car I have ever owned hopefully until my dc2 is done.

im just not a fan of boosted vtec... just a preference i suppose.... with a type r motor the compression is higher and you just have more crap to deal with when it comes to tuning and what not...

ok K20A it is, who has the best compatability parts for K series?

If you ask that question your going to get 50 million diff. answers because everyone has there own opinions. Like me I'd say go with crower internals for the head. It all comes down to you doing a crap load of research and finding out wich componets will work well together and give you your best peformance.
