awesome, glad you believe everything on HT.

now, thats a great $10,000 motor, but if you put a VTEC head on that bottom end it would have made 230whp.

VTEC>NONVTEC

unless you are in a specific class that limits you to an LS motor, there is NO REASON not to use vtec. IT MAKE MORE POWER, PERIOD. those that want to be different, im telling you you will spend THOUSANDS more dollars to make LESS POWER than guys USING VTEC.

if that sounds like you, then go ahead an be different
