You'd spend money on a Vtec head and then boost it? why for higher RPM's? stick with th ls/turbo its a safe bet and its quick....Vtec is for all motor if you ask me......

dont do lsvtec nomatter what. theres a reason honda didnt make that engine.....matting something that lives off high rpms to something that thrives at low torque and bigger displacment is stupid and BAD engine geometry.
go ls turbo please...

I beg to differ about the ls/vtec. We know of one that is running strong and will soon be a ls/vtec/turbo hopefully running in the 11 sec range. (the engine is built by the way.

i dont disagree with that but...key word is built. how many kids actually build the motor so it wont blow up at those blistering 8-9k rpm run? all i was tryin to say is that the two arent ment for each other....can it be done...and run strong...yes. but it must be properly built.
