    My vote would be S14 blacktop or S15.. You get a better head with the S15 engine, but you also pay a lot more. Both of them have a ball bearing T28 which will help spool and get the torque moving quicker. Plus the T25 on the red top runs out of air pretty quick. Since we're limited to stock turbos, the T25 just can't make the power needed to be competitive whether it has a restrictor or not. Well, at least not at weights attainable by the S14 chassis. (I don't see being able to get the car under ~2600lbs w/ my fat arse.)

    When there's local boys putting down ~400/420 in a 2900lb Pontiac, it's going to be incredibly hard to make the SR20 competitive at 2700lbs with a 31mm restrictor that will give you roughly a max of ~300hp.
