I'd definitely go with a hydro tranny, way better than cable IMO. As for reasoning in getting a B17, mainly price difference. It also has a better R/S ratio than a B18b1 though as you said, the B18c series is a little better built. Against the B16, it is again slightly less expensive, and alows for higher revs (up to 10,000 I've read, moded). It can also handle boost (not moded) up to around 13-14psi. They are also fairly plentiful as everyone tends to do the B16 or B18 swaps. But when it is all said and done, it's all about cost. I'm paying my way through college right now and don't have a lot of $. The extra $1000 for 10 more HP and 10 more lbs/torqu (ie-B18 engine) aren't worth it for me. As I know not where to look, any suggestions as to where I might find one?
