    Ahhhh..your post gave me a headache.. Ok you dont really need VTEC to make decent numbers for boost. Vtec will help with top end power a lot since it can rev higher and the cam lift is higher. With non-vtec you wont be able to rev as high and that combined with an LS tranny you might drop out of boost when you shift. Its all up to you. All you have to do to overcome not having Vtec is turn up the boost but ususally stock honda motors dont like much past 15psi but really...its all in the tuning.You tune will determine how much hp and how reliable it will be. Also just slapping a VTEC head on a non-vtec block will not raise your compression all that much..maybe .2 points...Goodluck

    Thanx. I forgot to mention that I have a GSR Hydro tranny instead of the stock tranny. If I got forged internals I could run more boost right?
