if you are gonna bet a b18b, then the b16a is a better choice
if you are going to use a b18c, then that is the best choice.

I am indecisive as fawk....plus I am trying to figure out the best platform to start on. I keep milling things around in my head and talking over with other FI friends.
Also I wont have the money for a couple months so of course my plans and thoughts will change. I just want to have the best starting point so I dont have to deal with changin my mind on down the road...rather do it now before it is real.

what are you guys talking about?!
b series bottom ends are all very strong.
not boost it without sleeves?! are you serious? you do realize the best way to keep a motor from blowing up is tuning, not ultra super duper sleeves. you know because they are open deck designs the top of the cylinder walls is where they are at their weakest when boosting. so if you use a block guard you'd really help yourself out.
getting into large lbs of boost, yeah get some sleeves.
b16a and b18b's are both great choices, one gives you a different feel than the other, neither one is better than the other. it comes down to personal preference.
