If your going with a B20, I wouldn't do anything without sleeving. While it is possible to squeeze 280 whp, B20 OEM sleeves are notorious for cracking.

If your trying to keep things on the low cost side, your better off boosting a stock B18.

Your automatic is not going to do you any favors, they don't respond to power very well. While you have the motor out, a 5 speed swap will be the most cost effective solution to increase the longevity of your drivetrain. Keep the automatic, and be prepared to replace it very soon.

Are you buying a short block, or building one yourself?

Either way, unless you plan on sleeving I would stick with a B18b. Nows the best time to reinforce your rotating assembly as well. If its in your budget, grab a set of forged pistons & rods and you can easily achieve 350 whp. If not, at least look into having the OEM b18b rods machined to use ARP rod bolts.
